Re: readfile() memory usage

I implemented this earlier this very year to avoid memory issues (a quick look at project history shows me working on it in January). The difference between using readfile, and some convoluted method from the documentation comments was clear and immediate: corrupted download with out of memory error in the logs, to things working just fine. Let me re-create with a simple test script and share my server details before we call snopes :) paul
