Sorry to post this, but the return path from here is quite unlikely to work.

Why not post it to this group, or mail it to me, and I can check it on
the one file I have that chokes the current large model compress.  I think
the problem arises when trying to compress binary files.  Try to compress
a copy of /xenix, then uncompress it to see if 1) something core dumps 2)
the resulting file is modified.
