I'm masking app-arch/gzip-x86 as we speak.  It seems to cause problems
for people[1] and is based off of gzip-1.3.3.  As such, it is vulnerable
to a couple[2] exploits[3]. Upstream appears dead (last update was
2003-05-20) and no one is currently maintaining it for us.  If you don't
want to see it go, speak up, or it will be gone in 30 days.
