Corinna,

> Where are you extracting?
/usr/src/gzip or C:\cygwin\usr\src\gzip

>What filesystem...
FAT32

> ...and is the parent directory writable?  
in /usr/src:
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 May 14 08:24 gzip/

in /usr:
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 May  9 07:23 src/

(I edited the passwd file and changed my username to root and did the same
for the group file because some scripts were complaining if I didn't).

I have attached it to this message.  I ran strace in the gzip directory
with the following options:

"strace tar -T extract -zxvf gzip-1.3.3.tar.gz > strace.log 2>&1"

(NOTE: "extract" contained the name of a "-r--r--r--" file to extract)
I hope this helps, let me know if I can do anything further :).

Cheers,
Nicholas
