This indicates that the file is corrupted.  It's conceivable
this is a gzip problem, but it's more likely that your file
system has a bug, or that some other process corrupted the file.
If it's a gzip bug, we'll need a self-contained test case to
help us reproduce that, e.g., a copy of the uncompressed data
and a script that will generate the diagnostic.

That's odd: on my SunOS 5.10 box the bundled gzip is 1.4:

$ /usr/bin/gzip -V | sed 1q
gzip 1.4

Maybe you need to install patches to bring your Solaris
system up to date?  But anyway, I doubt whether this
problem depends on gzip versioning.
