:Actually, now that I think about it, this was probably related to the SACK
:bug, since you mentioned that it could corrupt data even though it was
:disabled.  I'm doing some testing right now to verify this.

    There's something else going on with sendfile().  Jedi's Apache2 panics
    are due to sendfile() too but the bug I found is right smack in the 
    middle of sendfile() and should crash it instantly.

    Ah, wait... I'll bet you didn't have INVARIANTS set in your kernel.
    If INVARIANTS is not set then the sendfile() bug could lead to VM page
    starvation rather then an instant crash.

    In anycase, I am having Jedi test a bug fix (included below), but I
    recommend that you leave sendfile turned off since you are running a
    production server.  If Jedi confirms that the bug is fixed then I'll
    ask you to update and then try turning sendfile back on to see if that
    solves the problem.  But don't do it yet.
