Thus spake Ben Collver ("BC> ") sometime Today...

I don't think so:

/* pseudo-code */
for (;*file; ++file) {
	finished=0;
	if (!finished) {
		compresscat(file, ".gz");
		uncompresscat(zfile, "/dev/null") &&
			finished++;
	}
}

i.e. if the uncompress fails, go back and re-compress it and test it
again until we get it right.

And I don't think it's the drive, since I've tried it with a different
drive.

Once a gzipped file has gone bad, it remains so.

The checksum on the file actually *changes* at SOME point ->after<-
the file has been closed and some other file is being written, somewhere
down the line.

I'm more and more starting to suspect the filesystem, but I can't
confirm that until I get -current running on my sparc and test it
there.
