this is a long standing known problem in gzip 1.2 which has been
solved in gzip 1.3. I'm currently making a port of gzip 1.3.3, so,
you can use --use-compress-program=/usr/local/bin/gzip until
gzip 1.3.3 is imported into -current or -stable.
see the following URLs for details :
http://www.gzip.org/#faq8
and
http://www.gnu.org/manual/tar/html_node/tar_132.html#SEC127
(see details on the -b options)
or
info tar.info 'Blocking Factor'
(see details on the -b options)
