I turned on debugging and this is what I got:
[Thu Sep 08 13:07:19 2005] [info] (32)Broken pipe: core_output_filter:
writing data to the network
[Thu Sep 08 13:10:10 2005] [info] (32)Broken pipe: core_output_filter:

[Thu Sep 08 13:10:10 2005] [info] (32)Broken pipe: core_output_filter:
writing data to the network

core_output_filter: writing data to the network
The "error reading headers" is there, but there is no other error message
that matches the time. The Connection reset by peer and Broken pipe are, at
least according to Google search results, results of Apache2 + PHP
combination and seem to be harmless.

And to add: most of the users are able to use the website just fine, even
upload images so my guess is that it isn't the size of the POST request
that's breaking it.
More and more I'm considering pointing the finger at the ISP.
