Comment:

 As weird as this report sounds, it's actually an actual PHP bug.

 https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53829

 When some linux distributions compiled 32bit PHP with large file support,
 it'd cause the zlib functions to be incorrectly suffixed with `64`, a bug
 which took PHP almost 3 years to fix.

 Normally I'd say, wontfix, but given the amount of time that PHP had the
 issue, maybe we should consider a compat function wrapper.. The affected
 functions were: `gzopen, gzseek, gztell`. However, since it's the first
 report of issue, I'm not entirely sure if we should.
