Ok.

Casting a function does not cause a conversion.  For example, for a big-endian architecture, or for an architecture and compiler in which a long is returned in a different register than a long long, the wrong value will be returned.

There's something there I don't get.  The code is using gzgets() to read uncompressed data that has nulls in it (if that's the right file and the right function).  There's no way that could work, since neither fgets() nor gzgets() returns enough information to know how much data was read if it has nulls in the middle.  strlen() will stop at the first null.
