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?

It's news to me. What platform and gzip version are you using, and how was gzip 
built and installed? Can you reproduce the problem? Better yet, can you show us 
how to reproduce the problem?
