The string 'File too large' doesn't appear in the gzip 1.2.4 sources.
Possibly some other program is printing that message, or possibly
a system call is returning EOVERFLOW or you have file quotas or
something like that, none of which is under gzip's control.

Also, gzip 1.2.4 probably won't work for files larger than 2 GiB, so
you should upgrade.  I suggest gzip 1.3.5.
