As described... there is bugs with filesize equal to 16k and 32k...
maybe (16 * n) k sizes ???

So, i have circumvented the problem with this :

replaced : 
readfile($filename);

by: 
$fp=fopen($filename,"r");
$contents = fread ($fp, filesize($filename));
fclose($fp);
echo $contents;

I can now confirm that this bug does not exist with Apache 1.3.x and
all other circumstances and packages unchanged (apart from a mod_php
recompile of course).

This also seems to occur with PHP 4.3.3 / Apache 2.0.48 on Gentoo with
a 16k (16384 bytes) file.  When I padded the file out to a larger
amount (21k) the problem disappeared.  I think I'm going to move my
apache back down to 1.3.27, but this is definately an annoying and
rather difficult to track down bug.

Use apache1; apache2 + php is not a production combination as you have
discovered.
