Ah, sorry, I misinterpreted the debugging output. I saw a 'fail=1' and 
thought, "Oh, the script is failing". But it was working correctly 
(albeit confusingly). I reverted that part of the change to 
tests/init.sh in gnulib and installed further changes that I hope make 
the test output clearer.  Revised proposed patches to gzip attached.
