[KLUG Members] gzip -l error on large files

[bill]

I get errors when I do

gzip -l <gz file>

on large files (over about 2 GB).  

Instead of reporting intelligent numbers, it shows odd numbers and the
compression doesn't make sense.

#ls -la file.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     34626055051 Feb 16 01:16 file.tar.gz

#gzip -l file.tar.gz
         compressed        uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name
         8323617911          2662473728 -1200.5% file.tar

I don't think the files are corrupt.

Anybody encountered this problem before?
