Yes, I'm afraid that's a known bug, and is a property of
the file format, not of gzip itself: the file stores only
the low-order 32 bits of the size. For details, please see
the thread "RFC: fixing the 32-bit size and time limits in gzip file format"
rooted at <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2010-08/msg00009.html>.
(No fix has been implemented.)
