It might be libz conflicting with Shake's internal zip functions - this 
is a problem that has come up before (and still does), but can be fixed 
with some linking trickery.  But that should only affect the zip 
compression schemes...

We, and I think most other people, use in-house EXR plugins, so I don't 
think the public Shake plugin gets much attention.
