Increase your stacksize before starting gzip, try something like 20000 or
so. To untar .tgz and .tar.gz you also need tar, but I guess you've
figured that one out already. So first unzip them, and then `tar xvf
file.tar' to unpack them. (btw. the amiga-tar is quite funny with it's
"Warning, you are running current revision of ixemul.library" message :) )
