Try replacing gunzip with zcat.

Worked.  Thank you!

FFS. The gzip folks are back to this hubris? When it first came out they tried to usurp the .Z (compress) file extension unstead of using a nonrude '.gz' as they were quickly convinced to.

Please use "gzcat"; "zcat" is for compress/uncompress and if your vendor's installing gzcat as zcat they need a fresh complaint.

Also, for future reference, gunzip behaves as a filter if you don't supply a filename. So:

 gunzip < thing.dd.gz | dd ...

and no zcat/gzcat special command usage required.
