Anyone else noticed mod_gzip causes IE to blank?

I've noticed on some of my sites (here at dreamhost) that unless I disable mod_gzip in .htaccess, IE occasionally displays a completely blank page while navigating the site. When you go to view source on the page it just shows <html><body></body></html>.
The blank page comes up in about 1 of 10 page hits when mod_gzip's on.
It's not that big of a deal, as I just disable mod_gzip and it stops happening. I also noticed that I can leave mod_gzip on if I issue an HTTP header of Cache-Control: Private -- but I don't want to do that for the entire site -- easier to just disable mod_gzip.
Has anyone else noticed this?
