A simple "cvs diff" between RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE and RELENG_4 reveals, that gzip has not changed at all, while tar has only grown bzip2 support. As Kent suggests, ssh might be the problem. To verify, I have just logged in through telnet and done a "pkg_add gmake-3.79.1.tgz". And yes indeed, the broken pipe message disappears. So the OpenSSH 2.3.0 seems to be causing the problem.
