Re: gzip bug - cannot unzip zipped files

Here is a patch to fix the bug that was reported in gzip 0.5:

   read error on bug.z: No such file or directory

The bug is only in gunzip. The .z files created by gzip 0.5 are
correct. I will release soon a new version 0.6 fixing this bug and a
few portability problems.

Thanks a lot for your help.
