I gotta go with Nic on this...
Either I'm being really obtuse, or it just plain don't work right.
Consider this minimalist example:
http://l-i-e.com/404/test.php
http://l-i-e.com/404/index.htm
The 404 header is being completely ignored, afaict
I tried adding "exit;" right after the header, and my browser just
goes way long time and then times out.
I tried HTTP/1.1 and that made no difference.
I'd suggest checking http://bugs.php.net and filing a bug report if
it's not a known issue...
Unless somebody can point out something wrong in our logic.
