Description:
------------
I believe this is probably a duplicate of bug #24301 but since I have additional information but am unable to reopen that bug, I'm added a new report.  Feel free to mark this as a dupe and reopen the other bug if that is appropriate.

Basically, Apache2/PHP segfault with no warning or error message when you try to use readfile() on a file exactly 16k (16384 bytes) in size.  The original submitter of #24301 reported the problem with 64k files as well.  When I padded the file out to 21k, the problem disappeared.  There was also no problem when I moved back to Apache 1.3.x.  I understand Apache2/mod_php is not recommended yet (or at least didn't used to be) so I just want you guys to be aware of this bug.  I'm not expecting an immediate fix or anything. :)

Thanks!

Happened to me with PHP 4.3.4 / Apache 2.0.48 and a file size of exactly 48kb. Adding a single byte to it worked around this segmentation fault.
