I have upgraded my system to FreeBsd 4.9, the libc.so.5 in your case is libc.so.4 in my case but it looks like it has been rebuilt in the upgrade. I have downloaded and compiled the new 1.3.3 beta gzip from the gzip website, and built it with no difference in my problem resulting. I have uninstalled and re-installed bzip2 - also with the same eroneous results. What seems strange is that the failure is not a massive failure the gzipped and then gunzipped file is only 2 bites difference on a 3G file. I am wondering now if something could be amiss in my BIOS - any thoughts here?
