dvy12345: Just so I can understand more clearly what you proxy does: Am I  
correct
that it actually modified content, to try to strip advertisements from  
within a page,
and not just block URL fetches made for ads?

If I understand you correctly, it would certainly be plausible for such  
a "proxy" (I
have to use that term loosely, given that it modifies content) would  
corrupt a page.
It might un-gzip a file, and try to edit the content, and not realize that  
the
content is also compressed by the second "sdch" compression :-(.  This  
would be
kindred of scanning a raw gzip file, and pulling out strings of text, and  
then
passing the result along as though it were still a gzip file :-(.

Please confirm my understanding.  If so, I would strongly suggest you file  
a bug
against privoxy.  I would suspect that they are not properly processing the  
content-
encoding header, which asserts "gzip,sdch" compression was applied.
