I am dealing with manual.six.gz files here. When they are uncompressed with gunzip all is fine; when they are compressed again with gzip, the issue reappears: I am afraid that no extra byte is involved here. Second, I cannot see this extra byte in the involved manual.six files. > > So Sage should be patched not to add a dummy byte at the start. Sage just call GAP functions.
