There was a bug with the min-free option that was fixed. The RCS log
file shows that I made this fix in August 2001. I had totally
forgotten about this change.

Now that you mention it I do remember seeing the same problem myself.
I have a feeling that it may have been related to trying to compress
files that were of zero length (or something).
The strange thing is that I cannot find a reference to this in the RCS
log file although I do remember fixing it. It may have been included
in another fix but I should have mentioned it in the change log.
