This is a follow-up to Franck's observation of apparent corruption 
in reading a very large (I'm not quite sure how big) data file in 
gzipped XML (.gdt) format.

Franck did what I suggested (unzipped the file and looked at the 
XML) and found it was fine inside.  The problem was in the 
unzipping performed by gretl.  I've updated the version of 
zlib1.dll included in the gretl installer

http://ricardo.ecn.wfu.edu/pub/gretl/gretl_install.exe

and Franck tells me it works OK now.
