Hello,

Since 'netstat' command (included in the 'net-tools' package) is
deprecated, we should switch from 'netstat -n' to 'ss -n' in
tests/init.sh file.

I'm adding a simple patch:

   # Ensure that $data_ has length at least 50+$n_

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Thanks. I installed the attached slightly-simpler patch into Gnulib, and it 
should appear in the next Gzip release.
