WORLD database on FTP Server

I have FTP'd the world.cpio.Z database from the GRASS FTP server, but when
I try to uncompress it here it takes ages (generates a file of nearly 40
megabytes) and then core dumps. I have not had this problem with the other
files in the data directory (imagery and spearfish). Has anyone else had
this problem? Is the world.cpio.Z file corrupt?
