Bug#639825: Apache2 seek broken
My previous reply (including the strace info) seems to have been lost,
so I have trimmed the strace output some more, hoping that it will get
through this time.

This is a part of the strace:
sendto(37, "GET /takis/ffmpeg-ultrafast-s3840x2160-1024_0-4_0.ts
HTTP/1.1\r\nUser-Agent: Lavf53.9.0\r\nAccept: */*\r\nRange:

...
recvfrom(37, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nDate: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 09:38:48

1024, 0, NULL, NULL) = 1024
This is followed by a lot (2842) of recvfrom/poll pairs, each recvfrom
actually receiving several kilobytes of data.
Then the log shows these syscalls happening over and over again and it
doesn't stop until I kill the client.
poll([{fd=37, events=POLLIN}], 1, 100) = 1 ([{fd=37, revents=POLLIN}])
recvfrom(37, "", 32516, 0, NULL, NULL) = 0
The 2.2.9-10+lenny9 seems to return 206 while the 2.2.9-10+lenny10 returns 200:
recvfrom(49, "HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content\r\nDate: Wed, 31 Aug 2011

All video files are all static.
