Can you edit  t/filter/both_str_req_mix.t and uncomment the #t_debug
lines [1] and post the output again from the test run?  That will tell
us if the problem is no output from the server, or an issue with your
version of Compress::Zlib (please include that also if you can).  I
haven't ben able to replicate this issue yet but am installing and
testing on Fedora.

One thing this has shown me from testing on Centos, is that if your
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf file is basically unmodified, you may get some
odd testing results as a result of an Apache::Test problem where it
reads the system wide configuration file to determine what modules are
available.  So if mod_authn_file is not enabled in
/etc/httpd/httpd.conf, the test suite will fail with 'Invalid command
'AuthGroupFile', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration".  The module is on the system,
but since Apache::Test doesn't see it in the global httpd.conf file,
it doesn't load it.

In general, testing against rpm installations of httpd may produce
some erratic results because of that Apache::Test issue.  I'll try to
fix that after this release, the code which looks for and loads apache
modules is pretty dense and complicated.
