That is just the error code and its interpretation. What error message comes prior to that? We hypothesize that there can be an accidental match in the checksum data, which would cause the two sides to put different streams of data into their gzip compression algorithm, and eventually get out of sync and blow up. If you have a repeatable case of a new file overwriting an existing file that always fails, and if you can share the files, make them available somehow (e.g. put them on a web server) and send the list (or me) an email on how to grab them, and we can run some tests. If the above is the cause of the error, running without -z should indeed avoid the issue. ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
