[Bug 1131982] Re: CRC error

I can confirm that both VMs are using /bin/gunzip and have the same
checksum.

$ which gunzip 
/bin/gunzip

$ sha512sum /bin/gunzip 
483beae8cd211cff3bfa056bf573f0f0fa068eb0872924da9d01537232fa815d7bfd817bfb411fea65f20ae71e204256e0cc0255b06c1363fd4f80d918b2d76c  /bin/gunzip

I tried with a smaller file 'kernel_headers.gz' and I cannot recreate
the bug. The extraction works on VM #1 and VM #2, the file is 87M
compressed and 383M uncompressed. The original file that causes the CRC
error is 1531M uncompressed and 344M compressed.

I also started a new VM (#3) in the same EC2 zone, same AMI/Type, same
checksum of /bin/gunzip, and tried expanding the original file
('kernel.h.gz' with the same sha512sum). It works. I was attempting to
exclude the CPU as a factor and though it has the same CPU, the flags
listed are different:

Title:
  CRC error

Status in “gzip” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A file gzip'd on VM #1 (Ubuntu 12.04.2 server x64, gzip 1.4-1ubuntu2)
  will give a CRC error while extracting on VM #2 (Ubuntu 12.04.2 server
  x64, gzip 1.4-1ubuntu2). Extracting the file on VM #1 works as does
  extracting the file on Ubuntu 10.04.4LTS. Both VM #1 and VM #2 are
  running ext4 for their root fs.

  I can't upload the original file so I created a random text file by concatenating all linux headers. This file causes the same error:
  https://s3.amazonaws.com/gzip-bug/kernel.h.gz

  Both files have the same sha512sum:
  $ sha512sum kernel.h.gz
  0ea4226470f4da8f78b6272d65898c70de193b8a934e94ea81e4e86c8e477e7a44c7f45ef287f12db6eba6073c4726ab9373c883b2595011c9998dc10bff4db5  kernel.h.gz

  The actual error looks like:
  $ gunzip kernel.h.gz 

  gzip: kernel.h.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error
