gzip bug

[Curtis Caravone]

It seems like gzip with the -l and --verbose options is sometimes returning
the wrong totals for compressed and uncompressed size.

My data set is 50G worth of files, each around 25-100M, and I was not
immediately able to reproduce the problem on a smaller set.

For the dataset in question, gzip -l --verbose returns totals that equal
about (but not exactly) 1/2 of the real totals for compressed and
uncompressed sizes.

It appears that the individual numbers for each file are correct, but only
the totals are wrong.

Here's my version info:

gzip 1.3.5
