I think I just checked in a fix for the zlib issue.  For some reason, 
compress_buffer_input() was returning EOF to its caller as soon as it 
hit Z_STREAM_END, even though there was data waiting to be returned to 
the caller.  It solves the issue with the sample client input Joerg sent 
some time ago.

If you could both grab the CVS from CVS and let me know that I solved 
the problem correctly, I'll roll a 1.12.12 release soon.

Thanks,
