Watch out for this one: "zcat file.gz" deletes file.gz after cat'ing it.

I think this might be the same as busybox bug #1241
<http://bugs.busybox.net/db/12/1241.html> "bzcat tries to delete files",
which they report as fixed in CVS on 26 Apr 2002.  But it's not clear if
this made it into their latest stable version busybox-0.60.3, released the
next day.  It isn't listed in the Changelog.  (TomsRTBT-2.0.103 has
'busybox 0.61.pre' - is that newer than 0.60.3?)
