>Description:
	-current's and netbsd-2-0's gzip cannot handle '-' as input file name.
>How-To-Repeat:
	On a -current (2.0F) or netbsd-2-0 machine try the following:

	$ echo Hallo | gzip - > /dev/null
	gzip: can't stat: -: No such file or directory

	On a netbsd-1-6 machine this work flawlessly.

	pkgsrc/misc/openoffice relies on this gzip feature...
>Fix:
	Unknown.
