It would be better to fix the bug. FYI, the manpages are gzipped under
Linux (Debian) too, and there's no problem with the zshall man page.

But IMHO, it is probably better not to compress the manpages (that
should be a way to solve the problem). Another problem with the
gzipped man pages is that the man command sometimes freezes. And disk
space on desktop machines are no longer a problem for things like man
pages (if it is on some machines, then there should be an option[*]
not to include the manpages).

[*] e.g. a variant with a common name.

Also note that deleting the zshall man page will give the user wrong
information since "man zshall" will load the zshall man page that
comes with Mac OS X.
