Failed: Serialization: buffer too small for compressed data???

What does "Failed: Serialization: buffer too small for compressed data" mean?

I tried to upload the file below to scratch site bu got the above error.
http://sites.google.com/site/nevitdilmen/scratch/maze.sb

The only difference with other files I did upload is that the graphics was edited in GIMP. Some are 20x20 pixel, one is 480x360 px... The files is as small as 100K

Scratch ver 1.4
Win xp

Any help?

I have seen that error before.  You can make it go away by unchecking the "Compress sounds and images" box that appears in the Share screen. 

Thanks for uploading your sample file to Google...I will report the problem to the team and use your sample file as an example.

That was quite helpful. I was having that trouble with posting my Magic Stones Level Editor 1.3.1 (which is now here: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/randalpik/655440 ) even though I could post any other projects, and I tried and it worked. Thanks!

When you go to share a project, a window pops up for entering the account, password and all that stuff.  Look in the lower left hand corner and you will see the checkbox for "Compressing sounds and images" and make sure it is NOT checked.
