is anyone having problems executing gzipped scripts?
after installing 2.2.7, an awk database processor crashes,
with an ' unexpected ")" ' error.  i just gzipped a small
sh script to verify, and it crashed the same way also.

this occurs on 2  -  2.2.7 servers of mine.

also, i notice my TCL scripts now fail to display properly.
it seems that none of the EOL's (end-of-lines) get displayed,
and output prints across all 80 columns regardless.
TCL 8.02 ...  again, on 2  -  2.2.7 machines ...

thanks.
