forget my last comment, man gunzip says :
The uncompressed size is given as -1 for files not in gzip format, such as
compressed .Z files. To get the uncompressed size for such a file, you can use:
zcat file.Z | wc -c
as the .Z files in in compressed format (using compress command), it is
normal that gunzip -l reports -1 as uncompressed size
the reported size by fileroller of 17179869184 GB is = 2^34 GB or 2^64
bytes, so maybe the -1 is translated to an unsigned max value in
fileroller ?
It would probably be better to report "unknown" in stead of an incorrect
number
