Package: gzip
Version: 1.3.5-11
It looks like gzip is storing the incorrect filesize for large
files (probably only 32bits of it). Here's a roughly 40GiB file
(or at least a tar file of 39GiB of files) compressed to roughly 2.6GiB.

compressed uncompressed ratio uncompressed_name

acct-log-to-20050227.tar
If the file size is too large to store in the bits available maybe it
should be stored as '-1' so gzip -l will be consistent with other
formats it doesn't know the uncompressed size of?
