After a strace comparison with another machine for which I do not have
this problem, the bug occurs only when the libcompress-raw-zlib-perl
package is *not* installed. Said otherwise,
/usr/lib/perl5/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm (from libcompress-raw-zlib-perl)
is OK, but /usr/lib/perl/5.10.0/Compress/Raw/Zlib.pm (from perl)
yields the error.
