busybox zcat failed

zcat (provided by busybox) failed in 1.23 (works correctly in 1.22.1) if the file extension doesn't match with the compression.

Due to this bug, it is not possible to install the last rolling slitaz 5.

Tazinst use zcat to decompress rootfs.gz...

[c]( zcat "$i" 2>/dev/null || /usr/bin/lzma d "$i" -so || \
1884 cat "$i" ) 2>>"$LOG" | /bin/busybox cpio -idu[/c]

Looks like a status problem :

tux@slitaz:~$ zcat rootfs4.gz ; echo $?

zcat: out of memory
