I've attached a patch for mod_deflate.c (version 581198 in SVN). Let me
know if you want a different format, but
patch -p0 <mod_deflate_581198.patch
should do the trick.
We strongly suggest there is a problem handling the gzip footer while
inflating input data. The original code does not seem to acquire the
footer properly in all cases. The changes ensure the footer is properly
acquired.
This patch has run for over 24 hours without error. The previous
version would only run from 2-5 hours before errors occurred under
identical conditions (loading, data, etc). Again, the errors *always*
occurred coincident with the "FIXME" section of code (line 953).

Steve Bardsley
