Re: Weird Apache problem, hanging on particular data patterns

[vashts <vashts@gmail.com>]

And to reiterate... I can move the files around to different drives
and filesystems. They still have the problem.

I have checked ALL filesystems.

The transfer does seem to strangely work via Apache when done through
localhost. Yet not onto machines off of even the same switch.

I have succesfully split one of the files up into smaller chunks and
reassembled (the file is fine).

I can retreive the file without any corruption,  with vsftpd or
scp/sftp. Md5sum stays the same as it's always been (Again the file is
fine).

It is not an issue with my network connection. All but two particular
files so far I've run into transfer fine at the speed they should go
with 1000baseT (about 40mBYTES/sec locally and 10mBYTES/sec if I'm
lucky from some public ftp sites, and usually around 5mBYTES/sec from
umn.edu's debian mirror). Size of the files doesn't seem to matter
whatsoever. Also there are ZERO errors being reported by the switch
for the port that machine is connected to, also nothing in ipconfig as
far as errors. (My network is fine)

When I split one of the two "weird" files up into 1k chunks only the
second piece hangs when downloaded via apache, but every single other
piece is fine. This file when assembled hangs at exactly 1,130bytes,
so that makes perfect sense.
