Subject: [gentoo-hardened] UDEREF vs. Apache MMAP
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I was able to figure out my new apache problem. It seems that
PAX_MEMORY_UDEREF and apache's EnableMMAP directive don't get along
sometimes:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#enablemmap

With UDEREF enabled and MMAP on, I get random inappropriate 206 response
codes everywhere causing headers, images, and CSS files to fail to
transfer properly.

This is sufficiently into the realm of what I consider voodoo. Is there
anything I can do to help narrow down the problem, or should I just
disable MMAP and be happy?
