-php 3.0.18 under RedHat linux 6.2 , apache 1.3.14
-php 3.0.16 and 4.0.3pl1 under SuSE linux 7.0 , apache 1.3.12

I try to use upload files mechanism _in a correct manner_ with gif 
images files:
- under Windows98 i have no problems, the files are upload correctly
- under Linux with same version of php, the upload mechanism work but  
image file result corrupted

then I try to open corrupted file and original file with hexeditor
and surprise! 

I have found that the head of corrupted file begin like this:

0000 43 6f 6e 74 65 6e 74 2d  54 79 70 65 3a 20 69 6d Content- Type: im
0010 61 67 65 2f 67 69 66 0d  0a 0d 0a 47 49 46 38 37 age/gif. ...GIF87
0020 61 98 01 4a 00 f7 00 00  00 00 00 ff ff ff 00 00 a..J.?.. ...???..

a correct image file begin like this:

0000 47 49 46 38 37 61 98 01  4a 00 f7 00 00 00 00 00 GIF87a.. J.?.....
0010 ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ???..... ........

I also tryed with jpeg , bmp , tif  and these files are uploaded 
correctly on SuSE 7.0 php 4.0.3pl1 .
on RedHat 6.2 php 3.0.18 JPEG, files (and other??) some time are 
uploaded correctly but some time are corrupted with same bug:

0000 43 6f 6e 74 65 6e 74 2d  54 79 70 65 3a 20 69 6d Content- Type: im
0010 61 67 65 2f 6a 70 65 67  0d 0a 0d 0a ff d8 ff e0 age/jpeg ....????

the problem may be apache versions or some library versions ???

with this bug I have a big problem for my work, for now I have try to 
write a little C program that correct files corrupted but I prefer a 
real solution!

 help me!
