Bug in gzip 1.4? |

Under gzip 1.4, if you specify --force, gzip will attempt to compress 'FILE.gz'
and create 'FILE.gz.gz'. Under previous versions, even with '-f' specified, it
would exit with "gzip: FILE.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged" and leave
FILE.gz unchanged.
We use -f to allow gzip to overwrite existing .gz files without prompting.
gzip version is:
/usr/local/bin/gzip-1.4 -V
gzip-1.4 1.4
It was built on Solaris 8 using gcc-3.4.6.
Thank you,
-Karl Wieman

"who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness.
To surrender dreams; this may be madness. To seek treasure where there
is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness. And maddest of all; to
see life as it is, and not as it should be!"
Cervantes, "Man of La Mancha"
