I will send you an unzipped file when I get the next failure for a file that does not contain sensitive data which prohibits Me from sending you the file for your diagnostics to determine what/if the sporadic problem may be.
You write the following " but it's more likely that your file system has a bug, or that some other process corrupted the file" I do need your diagnostics as my troubleshooting led me to you. I drew my conclusion from: The gunzip on the Sun box worked fine. The binary sftp to the Linux box showed same number of bytes for the .gz file. The gunzip on the Linux box gor the crc error. I did an sftp to a different mount point on the Linux box and I got the same crc error. I think you can see how I came to a logical possible conclusion, but it is not conclusive until you can reproduce the error Or determine that it is not the gzip utility but other factors I have not yet ruled out. Regards and thanks for your quick response. It is greatly appreciated.

It's conceivable this is a gzip problem, but it's more likely that your file system has a bug, or that some other process corrupted the file. If it's a gzip bug, we'll need a self-contained test case to help us reproduce that, e.g., a copy of the uncompressed data and a script that will generate the diagnostic. > The versions are: > Sunbox1 > SunOS ppppppppp 5.10 Generic_138888-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise > yyyyyyyyy@sunbox1:/yyyyyyyyy/archive> gzip -V > gzip 1.3.5 That's odd: on my SunOS 5.10 box the bundled gzip is 1.4: $ /usr/bin/gzip -V | sed 1q gzip 1.4 Maybe you need to install patches to bring your Solaris system up to date? But anyway, I doubt whether this problem depends on gzip versioning.
