After some investigation, this fails because for files larger than
HOWMANY bytes. This happens because it can't pass gzip a full file,
and gzip gives a 'unexpected EOF', kills the pipe, and this gives
the unexpected read error.
The solution for this is a more clever way of unzipping the first
part of a file - perhaps gzip's behaviour changed in the past?
