Doesn't ring a bell. Anything's possible.

RHEL 6.7 has gzip 1.3.12 so it is a bit odd that your customer is
running 1.3.3. 1.3.3 is reeeally old and has a lot of security bugs. The
GNU project no longer distributes 1.3.3, even as an old release, so we
can't easily debug any problems involving 1.3.3. Maybe the customer has
an old user-installed binary of gzip 1.3.3? If so, I'd be suspicious of
it, and suggest removing it and using the gzip that comes with RHEL.
