gzip -dc /sw/src/unzip550.tar.gz | /sw/bin/tar -xvf - ### execution of gzip failed, exit code 139
There was a thread on this on 25-27 November (the error code was 138, not 139, but it was on OSX 10.2). Unfortunately, the list never learned whether the problem was solved or not.

[ALUpb:~] cstone% sudo gzip -d /sw/src/unzip550.tar.gz
This latter command, with the sudo, works! Then I have the .tar file sitting there in the src folder.
Did you try the whole command, with the /sw/bin/tar bit? It could be that your /sw/bin/tar doesn't work.

I'm on 10.3.2, Fink 0.6.2, G4 Powerbook. The partition's name does have spaces in it.
It does? This is a bad idea, in any case, if you want to do Unixy things on it. I don't know if it can cause the problem you are seeing.
