Hi,

I have a large log file (approx 1GB gzip compressed) that I want to
search. When I try to decompress it the resulting file is only just over
300MB. While its possible it was just horribly inefficient compresison I
suspect I'm hitting some bug...perhaps due to the resulting file being
greater than 2GB?

Does anyone know what is going on and what I can do about it?

Thanks,

Andrew
