Re: grep potential bug in compression lib

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   but what about the grep -z command which should have returned
   something else than the garbage it gives ?

You are grepping a gziped file, what did you expect to get? The -z
option in grep has _nothing_ todo with gzip or decompressing files.

>From (grep)Invoking:

`-z'
`--null-data'
     Treat the input as a set of lines, each terminated by a zero byte
     (the ASCII `NUL' character) instead of a newline.  Like the `-Z'
     or `--null' option, this option can be used with commands like
     `sort -z' to process arbitrary file names.
