To be precise, comp.sources.misc "v06i066: compress 4.0 bug fixes"
submitted by res at cbnews.ATT.COM (Robert E. Stampfli) contains that
fix. It drops in to 4.1 with only a few small changes. Below, I have
adapted Robert's fixes for compress 4.1. I also fixed a problem with
declaring signal handlers in the wrong place, which prevented compress
from compiling with gcc. And I fixed the problem that the error
messages that compress prints #ifdef SHORTNAMES when it can't tack on
a .Z only mentioned the last component of the pathname. This happened
both in Robert's patch and in the stock code, when creating the output
file.
