Actually, the thing about PerlIO::gzip isn't true.  You can't create 
threads with a PerlIO::gzip layer open currently.  Even if you don't need a 
PerlIO::gzip layer in the thread.  There is no problem if you only want a 
PerlIO::gzip layer inside a thread only.  So that is a different problem 
altogether.
