possible inconsistency

With Apache 0.8.2, if the connection times out, the socket gets closed
gracefully, but the client has no way to know that the document/object 
is incomplete.

I think that with older code, the process would exit() and the connection
would break, and this would be enough for the client to realise that
something didn't go to plan.

The symptoms for this problem are that clients cache incomplete documents.
