+Subject: [PATCH] gzip: fix permissions issue on Solaris-like systems
+
+I.e., on systems that let users give files away.
+* gzip.c (do_chown): New function.
+(copy_stat): Use it, to change the group, then the permissions,
+then the owner.  Idea suggested by Vladimir Marek in
+<http://bugs.gnu.org/15672#11>
