- The latest version of gzip is 1.2.4 AFAIK but you really should update your
- ixemul.library to the latest version.
- I think that the problem in your case is not having an old version of something
- but rather having too small stack. Try increasing the size of your stack and see if things
- get any better.
- As for what ixemul.library does it is a support library for GNU C that enables
- easy porting of Unix programs (like gzip).
