I found this http://sources.redhat.com/ml/ecos-patches/2002-09/msg00018.html It may relate to the problem.
I got this info on Snif6.caz using gzip on win32: C:\John\work>\john\gzip\gzip -l --verbose Snif6.caz method crc date time compressed uncompr. ratio uncompressed_name defla cfb808ab Sep 05 15:31 8557 71587 88.0% Snif6.caz
Then I copied it to Snif6.gz and tried to gunzip it:
C:\John\work>\john\gzip\gzip -d Snif6a.gz gzip: Snif6a.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error
(gzip -t gives the same result)
I have gzip 1.2.4 downloaded today from gzip.org.
I don't have a linux box up today to test it, but it seems the CRC is confused (or gzip is).

Well,
I did the gzip and then rename of the original cap file to caz...
Ethereal works great with the file... But if I try to open the newly created caz file with Sniffer, it crashes. So apparently they are doing something other then just a gzip of the file.
