Not entirely, I'm afraid, even though there would appear to be
some improvement in how frequently the problem occurs.

However, this measure increased _download_speed_ as seen from
remote sites dramatically, (three times or better) which is always
a good thing anyway. :-)

The increase in speed is there both with Apache 1.1.1 and in 1.2.4.
The "scalping" of parts of the transfer is still seen only when
using the latter.

cheetah.uio.no is currently at 103640-12. No obvious difference.

Your efforts so far are greatly appreciated....
