    zlib compress data very often begins with \x78\x01 (deflate, 32k
    window size). This clashes with VAX COFF where the latter has a
    bigger strength. Additional havoc is created by the fact the
    latter is considered an executable.

    Disable "VAX COFF executable" for the time being. It's the lesser
    evil.
