>Description:
By default NetBSD gzip does not overwrite file when decompressing whereas
GNU gzip prompts what to do.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ echo foo | gzip -c > foo.gz 
$ touch foo
$ /tmp/gnu-gzip -V            
gnu-gzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)
Compilation options:
DIRENT UTIME STDC_HEADERS HAVE_UNISTD_H ASMV 
$ /tmp/gnu-gzip -d foo.gz     
gnu-gzip: foo already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)? n
        not overwritten
$ /usr/bin/gzip -V
NetBSD gzip 20040427
$ /usr/bin/gzip -d foo.gz
gzip: foo already exists -- skipping
