problem running apache 2.2.4 on debian linux 3.0

["Eric Johanson" <epj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i built apache 2.2.4 from source on debian 3.0 using gcc

i am running on debian 3.0 which has libc 2.2

when i install it on the machine i build on, it works

however i need to install it on another debian 3.0 machine

on the alternate machine, httpd will only server files smaller than 256 bytes

files of size 255 bytes always get served properly

with files of size 256 bytes and larger, httpd just closes the socket connection and the client recieves nothing

there are no messages in the logs indicating a problem

this problem did not happen with apache 2.0 series on these same machines

 

what does apache do differently when the file size reaches 256 bytes?

how can i diagnose what is happening since there is nothing in the log files?

 

thanks very much for any help you can provide.
