Soren told me offside the list that he also can't reproduce the problem on Linux 
(the same as Ben with another Mac). So I had a look at it again and still wasn't 
successful to bring it to work again. I wonder what's going wrong here because I 
couldn't see gzip.m changing between 3.0.0 and 3.0.0+.

I describe my build process and attach the bug-report from the Linux box. So 
what I did once again is:

   mv /usr/local /usr/_local ## Cleanup, nothing of Octave is left anymore

   ## I go into the directory where the CVS sources of Octave are located

   make maintainer-clean && cvs -q update -d

   ## I check with 'cvs -q update -d' if it's really clean and that
   ## all files are updated

   ./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
   make && make check ## Everything as expected if I do 'make check'

Thanks for any tip again about what I could check now...
