System: NetBSD amethyst.netherstone.net 4.0_BETA2 NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (AMETHYST) #8: Tue May 1 22:23:20 EST 2007 unpriv@amethyst.netherstone.net:/usr/local/NetBSD/netbsd-4/obj/sys/arch/i386/compile/AMETHYST i386

>Description:
When NetBSD's gzip sees premature end of file on standard input it
emits a slightly different message to the one GNU gzip prints.

This difference broke a test case in GNU tar 1.16.

GNU gzip prints a blank line, and does not surround (stdin) with
parentheses.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ ./gzip --version
