Try to recompress the file after uncompressing it.  If the result is
the same as the original, then the problem is probably not in compress.

Look at the file after uncompressing it.  Does it look OK?  Especially
check that the end is not truncated.  For the most part, tar files are
readable with a good editor such as emacs.  :-)

The problem may be with the FTP connection.  There seem to be some
incompatible versions of ftp around.
