I found that this is really harmless, but is there is a fix for this available somewhere? Some scripts catch the return code and precess it as an error. I am using a 2.x based FreeBSD system. Kindly cc me in the reply. > br, vijay Why not use gunzip instead of gzip? Sometimes *.tgz files are confused by the OS as destined for *tape archives* and hence stdout gets confused as such! Can you repost with a "script" of what occurs when?
