Description of problem: there is a bug in pigz 2.3.3 which can cause an infinite loop when gzipping directories recursively. This is fixed in 2.3.4. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pigz 2.3.3 How reproducible: Very reproducible. If number of files is large and at least two directory levels down, an infinite loop can occur. Steps to Reproduce: mkdir pigztest pigztest/subdir cd pigztest for ((i=1;i<1000;i++)); do touch $i.txt; done cd subdir/ for ((i=1;i<1000;i++)); do touch $i.txt; done cd ../.. pigz -r -v pigztest Actual results: With pigz 2.3.3: pigz enters infinite loop iterating over files it created: pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/978.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/962.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/576.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/985.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/764.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/630.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/613.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/841.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/4.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/379.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/402.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/332.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/646.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/450.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/453.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/710.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/490.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/924.txt.gz ends with .gz pigz: skipping: pigztest/subdir/915.txt.gz ends with .gz if the -f (force) option is used, every .gz-file is compressed again and again and again ad infinitum. Expected results: With pigz 2.3.4, this behavior does not occur. Files are compressed as expected and pigz terminates normally. Additional info: pigz version 2.3.4 is already available in Fedora repositories, but for CentOS only version 2.3.3 is available via EPEL. Bugfix is listed in release notes, in the source comments: https://github.com/madler/pigz/blob/master/pigz.c
