So, the problem is: turning on gzip compression in vbulletin admin panel causes wordpress with activated vbridge plugin to go somewhat nuts.
Instead of any wordpress page you can only see corrupted first page of vbulletin.
Turnin gzipping off eliminates the trouble, but that's not a nice solution, I think.

A little research turned out that critical line is line 88 in file vbridge.php

require_once($vwd . '/global.php');

. When gzipping in vbulletin is on, this inclusion results in immediate output of forum's front page and termination of all scripts.

So, the question is -- is there any way to suppress gzipping mode for vbridge inclusion, but leave it on for normal forum operation?

PS: Sorry if my text isn't easy to understand, I'm not native English...

You get gzip error problems when gzip is already enabled on your server. I think it has nothing to do with vbbridge. I this problem when I moved servers and discovered that if gzip is enabled on the server, vbulletin's implementation of gzip croaks. Check your server settings in phpinfo and you will probably find that gzip is enabled already. It has nothing to do with the elegance of the solution, that is the way it works.
