    ; Hey, I have tried

    ; /bin/gzip `perl -e 'print "A" x 2048'`
    ; 
    ; On Linux and FreeBSD
    ; It didn't work.
    
    I have tested it on Debian 2.2:
    [15:20](shf@equinox shf)$ gzip -V
    gzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)
    Compilation options:
    DIRENT UTIME STDC_HEADERS HAVE_UNISTD_H ASMV
    [15:20](shf@equinox shf)$ gzip `perl -e "print 'A'x2048"`
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    .
    .
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA: File name too long
    [15:21](shf@equinox shf)$
    
    No segfault...
    
    Also tested it on Slackware 8.0:
    $ gzip -V
    gzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)
    Compilation options:
    DIRENT UTIME STDC_HEADERS HAVE_UNISTD_H ASMV
    $ gzip `perl -e "print 'A'x2048"`
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
    .
    .
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA: File name too long
    Segmentation fault
    $
    
    
       shf
