Excuse me if I've grabbed the wrong end of the stick here, but it
looks to me like apache is doing the right thing.  If the user aborts
the upload then there is an error reading the data, which apache
reports.

From a practical standpoint, if the user aborts the upload, they
should know that they aborted the upload and expect to see an error.
Furthermore, if they aborted the upload, it seems most likely that
they canceled the upload because they realized that they had selected
the wrong file and will try again with the correct file.

What difference does it make whether they get an error from your
script or from apache, if they expected an error and intend to try
again?
