[gentoo-user] Inconsistent behavior in my Gentoo OS instance

2017-05-01 Thread Miroslav Rovis
Hi! I have tried hard to make this message to the point. But that wasn't easy, as what I figured out about gzip --only after hours of work-- I still do need confirmation about, even though all appears correct. gzip apparently inconsistent behavior occupies the most part of the report on

I have an Epson 1260 scanner, which has served me well since 2003. However, there has always been a hardware-software problem, whose effect cb seen at http://chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/ : after a number of scans, something gets reset wrongly & half of the image is shaded or discolored (it's
