Actually I did it that way on purpose, so that the "gzip -n" vmlinux file
 would be accepted on face value -- but with the warning.  The user is not
 doing anything wrong that should force them to have to re-enter the command.
 
 This is what I have queued: 
 
         if ((header[0] == 0x1f) && (header[1] == 0x8b) && (header[2] ==
8)) {
                 if (!(header[3] & FNAME)) {
                         if (!(st->flags & FORCE_DEBUGINFO)) {
                                 error(INFO, "%s: "
                                     "original filename unknown\n",
                                         file);
                                 error(CONT,
                                     "Use \"-f %s\" on command line to
prevent this message.\n\n",
                                         file);
                         }
                 } else if (!STRNEQ((char *)&header[10], "vmlinux")
&&
                     !(st->flags & FORCE_DEBUGINFO)) {
                         error(INFO, "%s: compressed file name does not "
                             "start with \"vmlinux\"\n",
&header[10]);
                         error(CONT,
                             "Use \"-f %s\" on command line to
override.\n\n",
                                 file);
                         return FALSE;
                 }
                 type = GZIP;
         }

Got it. Thanks.
