Cannot serve files from Novell share mounted into Linux with ncpfs

           Summary: Cannot serve files from Novell share mounted into Linux
                    with ncpfs
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.51
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: snickl@snickl.freaks.de


There are directories of pdf files on a Novell share that I want to provide a
web-based frontend to. This is done with a Linux x86 box that has the Novell
share mounted into it's filesystem with Linux's ncpfs filesystem. Apache is then
configured to serve from there:

Alias /pdfdir/ /pdfdir/
<Directory /pdfdir>
   Options Indexes
   <IfModule mod_access.c>
        Allow from all
   </IfModule>
</Directory>

While this worked fine with apache 1.3, it apparently doesn't with the 2.0
series, Linux kernels 2.4 and currently 2.6.8.1.

This is the message returned by wget when trying to fetch such a file:
10:49:42 (0.00 B/s) - Connection closed at byte 0. Retrying.

No entry to error_log is generated, but this goes into access_log:
<my-client-ip> - - [06/Oct/2004:10:49:42 +0200] "GET <pdf-url> HTTP/1.0" 200
6729456 "-" "Wget/1.9.1"

The number of bytes logged into access_log is correct.

This is lynx -head:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

But lynx -dump also returns nothing at all.
