I compress a very little file using gzip with those commands:

The result is little.gz and when I use the command:
file -z little.gz
the process hangs, using almosr 99% of cpu, as shown on "top" command
>How-To-Repeat:
echo aaaa > little
gzip -9v little
file -z little.gz     ======> process hangs
>Fix:
to fix:

gzcat little.gz | file -
