I should have mentioned it.
No, the problem affects both XP and w2k

Thanks, Bill. I'll try both your suggestion and Jeremy's sendfile hint
first thing in the morning.

SerNet's rpms were quite up-to-date. Until 3.0.6 I had no
problems with their builds. Unfortunately, the same problem
affects SuSE's own rpms as well. Did you actuall mean that 
I should use 8.1 rpm for my 8.2 system?
