Red Hat 9: Apache compresses JPEG files

I'm using Red Hat 9. Since I upgraded to lastest Apache security release
(2.0.40-21.11) I've found that all files (including JPEG) are sent
compressed with gzip to client.

I configured my server some time ago to compress plain text files using
deflate module and leave the rest uncompressed. The upgrade hasn't changed
my config files, which are exactly the same and remain unchanged.

I'd appreciate some comments on whether someone else has found the same
problem and also on how to diagnose what's going on. I don't want to
compress JPEGs and the like, it's a waste of time and resources!


Thank you in advance,

Some more info. Actually, mod_deflate is no longer working. I created a
text file renamed to *.jpg to test it:



GET /BORRAME.jpg HTTP/1.1
Host: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.tecoweb.com" target="_blank">www.tecoweb.com</a>

This is a test.
