Some interesting reports of binaries that behave differently when zip'd.

The ability in subject is amazing. But this is what I've hit...

Knews comes with status disconnected and will not connect to the
news-server automaticly, like it used to being non-compressed. If
you tell it to connect it obeys just fine and works...

The game called CRAFT is also fine, but always takes the same map
for the game, as opposite to picking it randomly as it used to
being non-compressed.

At the same time Netscape does not seem to care, that netscape.bin
is now netscape.bin.gz ...

Ideas?
