I have 2 ideas based on problems I've had with gzip. I don't know if either is the case you're running into, but both are worth checking out.

1. Could it be that your file hits 2 GB in size at the 230k records mark and that is what chokes gunzip? I think I remember seeing where gunzip (maybe just some versions of it) can't handle largefiles properly.

2. Also check the versions. On a Solaris box I once had a problem where the version of gzip on that box was different than the gzip on the box I transferred the file from and that caused problems. Installing the same version both places took care of that issue.

Good luck.
