Thanks. IMHO, the title should no longer mention NTFS. The behavior can
be observed on any filesystem.
Try this, for example, on an ext* FS:
# touch foo
# ln foo bar
# gzip bar
gzip: bar has 1 other link -- unchanged
# bzip2 bar
bzip2: Input file bar has 1 other link.
# xz bar
xz: bar: Input file has more than one hard link, skipping
# lzma bar
lzma: bar: Input file has more than one hard link, skipping
Note: I have also affected this bug to the gzip project
