I've sent two mails to the list regarding this issue, but for some reason
mail from my machine at home don't seem to get through. :-/

I've had a similar problem with fnord + ucspi-ssl. It turned out that
sendfile() calls fail if output is to a pipe instead of a socket. What
puzzled me was that "most" transfers worked fine, only "a few" didn't.
The reason was simply that fnord doesn't use sendfile() if the file size
is below a certain limit...

Workaround: compile fnord without sendfile support.
