I have been running Apache 2.0.46 for a long time, but recently noticed a
problem with directory indexes. This behavior was seen with Internet
Explorer 6 (and with telnet); I don't have the ability to try other
browsers. The problem is this: some directories index, link, display, etc.
all normal. Other directories do not work. It appears to be that the
directories with a larger number of files (over 90-ish?) are the problem.
When viewing these problem directories Internet Explorer gives:
The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site might
be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your
browser settings.

Click the Refresh button, or try again later..... etc.
To further debug the problem, I tried telneting directly to my web server,
typing in:
GET /baby/2004-03%20(Mar)/ HTTP/1.1
<enter>
and the results were:
BEGIN CUT N PASTE

So you can see from the abnormal termination of the HTML, the socket
connection is being cut off before the entire index is sent. I cannot
venture a guess as to why this might be.
You can experience the problem for yourself at:

I tried uninstalling 2.0.46 and reinstalling with version 2.0.49, but there
was no change in behavior at all. I also tried doing some goggle searches,
and tried poking around the apache.org site, but I could not find anyone
referring to this problem anything similar. I have no idea what to do now,
please help.
Thanks,
Dan
