Bug 42287

When I send a POST request to a php/perl script. Chunked Response from apache
2.2.x/trunk is abruptly closed. Sometimes it works fine and sometimes we don't
see last 0 in chunked response.

-------------------------------------------
In error log sometimes I saw this message.
[Sat Apr 28 20:27:25 2007] [error] [client 192.18.120.216] (104)Connection reset
by peer: ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read() failed
-------------------------------------------

This happens with both httpd-2.2.x and trunk.
I am using apr and apr-util from trunk.
This could potentially be apr bug too.

The behavior is not at all predictable. It sometimes works ok and sometimes fails.
