Hi - We have some large (mainly tcpdump) files that we have on a amd64 (5.2.1-p4) system, to which we have been trying to compress w/ gzip. Compressing the files works just fine, but the resulting archives seem to be corrupted because when you gunzip them: -=- # gunzip raw-pkts1.gz gunzip: raw-pkts1.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated -=- (raw-pkts1 is a 4.3GB file uncompressed) This is with both 1.2.4 (part of FreeBSD) and 1.3.5 (from ports). Compressing/Decompressing the same file on a i386 system causes no issues. Suffice to say this is broken. Has anyone else experianced this? -Peter -- Peter_Losher@isc.org | ISC | OpenPGP 0xE8048D08 | "The bits must flow"
