Apache 2.0.49 - Broken mod_deflate

ever since i upgraded from 2.0.48 to 2.0.49 mod_deflate started
messing up all ".zip" files on my server. i have already set a rule to
exclude .zip from being gzipped (its the same rule i used for 2.0.48,
never had a problem) but apache 2.0.49 ignored this rule and caused
all .zip files to be corruped after being downloaded.

i rolled back to 2.0.48 and everything's been working fine.

I suggest, you report that as a bug. (though nothing changed in mod_deflate
in 2.0.49). And please include some useful information in the report.

Thanks.
