System name:		smoke-screen.mit.edu
Type and version:	IP32 8.1.16 (with mkserv)
Display type:		CRM

What were you trying to do?
	read multiple gziped files

What's wrong:
	wheras it's fine when used separately on each file, when more
	than one file, is given as arguments, the error "Bad file number"
	is returned

What should have happened:
	both files should have been unziped and printed to stdout

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	- the man page claims that any other number of files should
	be fine.
	- the copy of zcat in /mit/sipb/arch/sgi_63/bin/zcat works fine
