I don't know the exact circumstances, but basically this means that
gzip was trying to duplicate a file descriptor, and gave a bad file
descriptor either for the source or target argument.  If you have some
context, I may be able to give more detail -- how is gzip being
invoked?  Can you use truss or the like to figure out what it's trying
to do?
