pigz 2.1 is available here:

http://zlib.net/pigz/

This version has some portability enhancements and improved
parallelism for decompression.

Any testing and associated reports would be appreciated. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I have a failure on my 64-bit Solairs 10 Sparc system:

# pigz --verbose /tmp/testfile.bin
/tmp/testfile.bin to /tmp/testfile.bin.gz
Assertion failed: count == pool->made, file pigz.c, line 803
Abort(coredump)

Original file was 1 gigabyte exactly. But it is missing now:

# ls -l /tmp/testfile.bin
/tmp/testfile.bin: No such file or directory

..gz exists, but is corrupt:

# ls -l /tmp/test*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 394648712 Oct 28 11:35 /tmp/
testfile.bin.gz
# pigz --test /tmp/testfile.bin.gz
# pigz --verbose --test /tmp/testfile.bin.gz
pigz abort: corrupted gzip stream -- crc32 mismatch: /tmp/
testfile.bin.gz
