Yeah, I added that in the last few days. I thought it would be a good
idea to turn Gzip compression on. I didn't expect that it would cause
any problems.

According to the Apache docs it says:

The DEFLATE filter is always inserted after RESOURCE filters like PHP or
SSI. It never touches internal subrequests.

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_deflate.html

But a quick Google search indeed turns up some issues:

Some are related to an (old?) bug in mod_deflate, which might (or might
not) be fixed in the version we're using on 5209R.

I'll give it a look in a moment. If I can't fix it today, I'll roll up a
modified base-ssl that turns the default Gzip compression off again.
