A bug in the loader's bzipfs & gzipfs filesystems caused compressed kernel and modules not to work on EFI systems. Since the size of files in these filesystems are not known _a priori_ `stat` would initialize the size to -1 and the loader would then hang in an infinite loop while trying to seek (read) to the end of the file due to comparing the current offset to that negative target position.

A bug in the loader's bzipfs & gzipfs filesystems caused compressed kernel and modules not to work on EFI systems with a veriexec-enabled loader. Since the size of files in these filesystems are not known _a priori_ `stat` would initialize the size to -1 and the loader would then hang in an infinite loop while trying to seek (read) to the end of file since the loop termination condition compares the current offset to that negative target position.
