None here. Been using it for years on Linux *AND* AIX. Never had a
moment's trouble with production releases. (I.e. not
development/beta/alpha/unstable, etc.)

Subject: Any 'Gottchas' with gzip?

We're contemplating using gzip and are wondering if anyone has seen any
problems with it (e.g. file size, errors, etc.). It seems to compress our
particular files about 50% better than 'compress'.

TIA -
Scott
