Ah, OK, if I'm understanding you correctly, the problem
is merely the wording of the diagnostics. Sometimes gzip is
saying "trailing garbage ignored", sometimes "unexpected EOF".
This has to do with, internally, how it looks for the gzip
header; the exact spelling of the diagnostic isn't that
significant. Since one can concatenate gzip files, the
distinction between trailing garbage and unexpected EOF
isn't always clear, anyway.
