Corrupt Solaris 8 binaries?

I downloaded both of the Solaris 8 binary packages from
http://www.linas.org/pub/gnucash/gnucash/solaris-8
and cannot unzip them. "gunzip" complains:

> gunzip GNUcash.1.4.3.Solaris.8.Sparc.tar.gz 

gunzip: GNUcash.1.4.3.Solaris.8.Sparc.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated

"tar" doesn't work on it either:

> tar tvzf GNUcash.1.4.3.Solaris.8.Sparc.tar.gz

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
/pkg/gnu/bin/tar: Unexpected EOF on archive file
/pkg/gnu/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


Anyone else have any success with these?

Thanks,
