Description:
------------
I'm setting up MediaWiki-1.11.0, which uses gzdeflate (if available) to compress "serialized" objects.

Every once in a while I would get either a:
PHP Warning:  gzdeflate() [<a href='function.gzdeflate'>function.gzdeflate</a>]: buffer error in /opt/www/mediawiki/includes/BagOStuff.php on line 374
or simply a report about httpd-child segfaulting in the server's error-log.

I ended up commenting out the gzdeflate-detecting logic in MediaWiki's file in order to /never/ compress the objects, but that, obviously, is not a fix.

I'm struggling to convince the server, that it is Ok to dump a core-file -- so I can not post a trace at the moment. But if you are aware of this problem already, however, I'd greatly appreciate a fix.
