Detailsgzip/gunzip (version 1.2.4b-4) doesn't support large files (larger than 2GB).
Steps to reproduce: 1. create a 3GB file $ dd if=/dev/zero of=file.tmp bs=1G count=3 $ ls -lh file.tmp -rw-r--r-- 1 damjan users 3,0G 2007-03-16 18:46 file.tmp 2. Try to compress it: $ gzip file.tmp file.tmp: Value too large for defined data type 3. Alternativelly, it works: $ cat file.tmp | gzip -c > file.tmp.gz 4. gunzip, fails when it reaches 2GB $ rm file.tmp $ gunzip file.tmp.gz File size limit exceeded |

Slackware seems to use 1.3.3 (and 1.3.5 in 11.0) for some time now. Maybe ArchLinux should upgrade too.
