Hi,
could you please fix the 'zless' bug described.

Use exit code of LESSOPEN script if LESSOPEN starts with "||".

Thanks,

Hi jb,
This was fixed in less-451 with the introduction of the double pipe
syntax in LESSOPEN.  It requires your lessopen script to return the
appropriate exit code.

This appears to be a duplicate of Bug#16951, which should mean that your 
test should work in the next gzip release but some related bugs remain.
