I've tracked this bug and fix in issue #471[1].  If you'd rather not
hand-tweak your ViewVC code, you might consider grabbing the nightly
build[2] tomorrow to use on your servers.  So far, that build differs from
1.1.7 only by these two fixes:

  * fix slowness triggered by allow_compress=1 configuration (issue #467)
  * fix standalone.py Windows regression (issue #471)

Sorry for breaking ViewVC on Windows.
