Yes, at least if it's necessary to use redirection to create the
output file.  I can see now why the tests depending on an external
gzip "passed" for me but failed for John.  I have gzip but it's not
in my path, so the tests get skipped.  He probably has it in his path
but it doesn't do redirection, so they fail.
