 I was actually really puzzled by this, after I submitted the PR, I was
 looking at changes to restore and dump commands and found that there
 was no significant changes, I even downgraded those commands to those
 from 6.2 and they still behaved the same.
 
 Now I tried to your suggestion and it seems to work as it supposed to
 with the gzip from ports. Well.. I see the "Header with wrong
 dumpdate." but other than that it works fine.
 
 I would never thought that gzip was to blame for that...
 
 P.S. I upgraded to 7.0 recently, but it didn't affect that bug anyway.
