gzip: input file size weirdness.

Hi list,

I'm piping dump through gzip and this is what I'm getting:
gzip: input file size >= 4GB cannot be saved: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Below is the section of the script: 
dump -${layer}auf - ${point} | gzip > ${dumpdir}/${fs}/${layer}.gz.part

The machine is NetBSD 2.0, but I have other 2.0 machines which aren't
exhibiting this error. The error doesn't seem to change anything either,
the files are the right size and I can restore them perfectly.

I thoroughly checklist all my machines and I've double checked this one
for anything odd that I might have missed, the custom kernel appears to be
identical to all its 2.0 buddies on the network. However, its hardware is
the oldest, it has only 384M. 

The problem is, my script checks $? to make sure it is 0, it keeps on e-mailing
me a warning. I only recently made the modification to check for this.
Google definedly isn't throwing me a bone either. Unless I've missed something.

Is there any hope of resolving this issue or would turning the error checking
off be my best course of action? 

Many thanks in advance and may no server room gnomes cause disruption for
you.
