I am trying to decompress a large file and it fails when the
decompressed file size reaches just over 4 gb with following message.
I tested the file system by creating a 5 Gb file just to make sure
file system is accepting largefiles.

gzip: <file name>: unexpected end of file

HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800
I am using gzip version 1.3.5 from http://hpux.connect.org.uk
I recompiled using 64 bit gcc compiler.
File system has large files enabled.
File system mounted with largefiles option.

This file came from an OpenVMS system. I used gzip version 1.2.4 to
compress the file on OpenVMS.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
