Your bug report is about gzip 1.3.12 (2007-04-13). Unfortunately gzip's 
support for VMS was removed in gzip 1.9 (2018-01-07) and (as you're 
noticing) it wasn't really working even before that. Unless someone 
volunteers to spend quite a bit of time on it I doubt whether gzip will 
get working again on VMS, so I'm closing the bug report.
