I moved the relevant functionality from the test 'files-general' to a new test 'timestamp-in-piped-gzip' and limited the latter to gzip << 1.10. > This started with 2.20.0 with commit > ea2fac33c4c21d185430c48e387ad198cc0c1436, the first release with the new > timestamped-gzip test... The problem no longer occurs past commit 74137cac. I tested it by installing gzip 1.10 from Ubuntu. Thank you for reporting the issue so early. That version of 'gzip' is not even in Debian yet.
