Hello,

This works:

zgrep -9 marclatz syslog-20131031.gz | wc -l
19

And this:

zgrep -C 10 marclatz syslog-20131031.gz | wc -l
21

This does not work:

zgrep -10 marclatz syslog-20131031.gz | wc -l
gzip: marclatz.gz: No such file or directory
2092205

But this works:

gunzip -c syslog-20131031.gz | grep -10 marclatz | wc -l
21

greetings
