I can confirm this error, and it seems to be common with large pages of 
say 12 Kb or so.

I'm not sure about it being only Nutscrape, though it's quite likely. However, 
it only seems to happen via the internet - using a local connection with 
everything on the same box this error never (for me) happens. The remote 
boxes are running Apache 1.3.23, OpenSSL 0.9.6c, IC 4.8.3. Locally, it's 
Apache 1.3.22, OpenSSL 0.9.6b, IC 4.8.3 (on OS/2, with a patch to define 
both SUN_LEN and inet_aton - these are defined in Linux but not OS/2. 
I can send you the patch if you're interested in trying a possibly different
#define. I'll also try it and see what happens, though I suspect it's more 
likely to be latency issues)
