Subject: the archive is corrupted
Herbert,
The gzip.coredump.file that you provided is corrupt. The gzip 1.2.4 executable
on my HP-UX workstation deals with it slightly better than the Debian version
by reporting that there's an incomplete literal tree, which is a gzip format
violation.
Since the archive is corrupt, the only real issue here is that we seg fault
instead of being more graceful about failing. Since the same source compiled
on HP-UX is indeed more graceful, I suspect this is really a libc issue or
something like that... regardless, I don't think it's worth pursuing.

I do think it's worth pursuing. If you think that this is a libc issue,
please redirect it to libc5.
