I have a vague recollection of some fix regarding large files and mod_autoindex. This could very well be a file-size issue. (You probably won't have luck with files greater than 2GB in anything less than httpd-2.1.) favicon is a file that browsers use to give a site-specific icon in the bookmarks and url-bar.
