Hello,
On FreeBSD 7.2, the ‘gzip.at’ test fails:

38. gzip.at:23: testing ...
./gzip.at:28:
cat /dev/null | gzip - > /dev/null 2>&1 || exit 77

(From <http://hydra.nixos.org/build/337031>.)
Perhaps only the last two lines should be compared?
(I believe this is not platform-specific. Rather this has to do with
the fact that the “gzip:” line is printed by gzip, whose output is not
under tar’s control.)
Thanks,
Ludo’.
