Another benefit of making gunzip a full-blown executable rather than a
shell wrapper is that the startup time is faster (and on cygwin and mingw,
the extra process and time of a shell script wrapper is noticeable).
Uncompressing is a common task, and should not

Jim's point is that if you run './configure GREP=ggrep', that should fix
it at configura

'test x -a y' is not portable. Use test x && test y.

Not a bug, but an inherent limitation in the file format used by gzip.
There is no way to accurately record sizes larger than 2GB short of
inventing a new file format, but then it would no longer be compatible
with existing gzip.

Good catch. I'll apply your patch upstream in gnulib so
, since
you have immediately published the change via the public access to the
VCS, even if you don't have a formal release of the package during that

the year.

Only if you can call a design flaw a bug. There's no way to fix this
short of introducing an extension to the gz file format, and even then,
it would only work for implementations of gzip that understand that

Gnulib also has a sigpipe module to provide a non-zero SIGPIPE that
works on mingw; perhaps it is worth importing tha
as not a bug, so that it doesn't clog the bug tracker;
