------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Right now our code in handle_status_vote sends cached_dir_t objects in
 their deflated variant when compression is negotiated... but it claims to
 have compressed them with zlib.

 This has been a bit of a heisenbug, since it only happens when we're
 downloading votes, which doesn't happen with the usual timing on chutney.
