No further comment in four years, so I'm closing this old bug report.

Hi,
   We had used gzip routinely to compress and expand text files. 

 We were working on a data set of 93 Mb in files of ~800,000 characters
each.  We found both one or two characters added or removed from a
file. 

   Has this been seen before?   Is there a fix?
