Not back then it wasn't. And a quick scan of the CVS logs shows no
fixes have gone in (not that explicitly mention `gzip' anyhow). Terry
Lambert posted a HACKY work-around, but that (for obvious reasons)
hasn't been committed, since it just masks that symptoms, not fixes
the ailment.

Anyone know better?
