:Hey,
:
:serkoon from EFnet just told me that downloads from chlamydia are 
:broken again.
:
:It seems that sendfile(2) is once again broken: When switching off 
:sendfile support in apache, the corrupted downloads go away.
:
:When downloading with sendfile I always got the same file, same md5, 
:just different than the original (differing from offset 0x1a000 on) - 
:but this doesn't mean pattern of corruption is constant.

:cheers

    Grrrr.  Ok, I'll figure out what broke.

    Do me a favor and set kern.mmxopt=0 in /boot/loader.conf and tell me
    if that has anything to do with it.  It better not :-)  But I want to 
    be sure before I start chasing canaries.
