>Description:
        When a file name is provided on the command line, gzip -c does not
        save its timestamp in the output compressed stream.
>How-To-Repeat:
        cd /tmp
        touch foo
        gzip -c foo > foo1.gz
        gzip foo
        file foo1.gz foo.gz

foo1.gz: gzip compressed data, was "foo", from Unix
foo.gz:  gzip compressed data, was "foo", from Unix, last modified: Tue Jun  1
