Ok, it looks like you're right.  I thought I'd explicitly checked that this
morning.  Hmmm.  The short answer is run -11.  Whether this is significant
enough to warrnat putting -11 in buzz-fixes I'll leave it up to someone else to
worry about.  I personally wouldn't bother.

The history is that I removed the 'compress' link several revs back, but lost
that change when I had a disk failure here and didn't notice it until a couple
of revs later when someone resubmitted it as a bug.  It's "fixed again" in 
-11, and will "stay fixed" from now on.

I think it ought to be in buzz-fixes.  compress is a common Unix command
and the version installed there now is totally broken, because
/bin/compress is not actually compress at all.
