Bug on gunzip.exe (win32 version) when listing archive contents uncompressed size

[Eric Belfort]

Hi!

I'm writing this message to report a bug on gunzip.exe (win32 version) that
makes it show a incorrect uncompressed size, when using the -l or --list
command option. To reproduce the bug I used gzip to compress a 21.7GB flat
file and then used gunzip with the -l command option to get the archive file
listings. The uncompressed size displayed was only 1.77GB, not the original
21.7GB. When I extract this archive however, the resulting file is the
original 21.7GB large flat file.

Feel free to contact me may you need more details about this bug.


Best regards,

Eric Belfort
