I did, yes.  The first client is this workstation, which is also the
server.  As noted, I've figured out this morning (or rather, remembered)
why gzip was running, but am now baffled why it was running for so
*long*, and the only theory I can come up with is that I failed to get a
clean restart of 1.34.0 after installation (given that the Director was
unresponsive when I tried to open a console).

I'll be keeping an eye on it over the next few backups and see if it
behaves normally, as it just did on a test backup this morning.
