While unpacking the new apache_1.2.1.tar.{Z,gz} distributions, I constantly get
a "premature EOF" error around suexec.h.

Happens on binary FTP downloads from a couple of mirrors, including ftp.epix.net,
and from HTTP download.

Using command 
gzip -dc apache_1.2.1.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Check and rebuild the tarfile
