 I want to add this note from Dave Uhring in relation with the problem
 report #32368.  We agree that we must submit it as soon as possible,
 as it is important for managing this issue:
 
 ``As far as I can tell, gzip will compress only one file per invocation.
 Any reference to "files" or "source files" as in OBSD's gzip(1) is
 a source of confusion.
 
 Certainly gzip can compress many files with a single command by globbing
 the target "file" argument.  But normally only one file will be compressed,
 decompressed, tested, etc at a time.''
 
 Best regards,
 Igor.
