 Replying to [comment:1 dd32]:
 > Normally I'd say, wontfix, but given the amount of time that PHP had the
 issue, maybe we should consider a compat function wrapper.. The affected
 functions were: `gzopen, gzseek, gztell`. However, since it's the first
 report of issue, I'm not entirely sure if we should.

 Well, it is the first report of the issue which made it to your bug
 reports... when you google the Internet you'll find that there is more
 discussion about this bug, only nobody took the time to report it here. I
 would seriously suggest to fix it... it's a few lines of code solving a
 serious problem.
