Comment 5 for bug 652343

I did some research starting from Mike/Jason's premise that it is an apache bug. Here is a changelog for the Ubuntu package:

http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/a/apache2/apache2_2.2.14-5ubuntu8.2/changelog

There are a bunch of mod_deflate related patches in there, so I wouldn't be surprised if one of them fixes it.

Hardy uses apache 2.2.8, so assuming that 2.2.8 is broken, it looks like the oldest possible patch mentioning mod_deflate is 2.2.11 (jaunty), or it could be one of the patches in 2.2.12 (Karmic), so basically this means that either Jaunty or Karmic is the cutoff for using mod_deflate, unless you're willing to install a backported apache.

Debian's changelogs are completely different, but it looks to me like there are a lot more mod_deflate patches going on there, so probably having the latest version on lenny should be adequate.

Does this sound reasonable? Can anyone confirm this further based on their version of apache, or have an idea of which patch it would be in the changelog?
