Nice thought... I did verify that all of the mounts are binmode mounts.
I saved one of the bad images that the browser downloaded and compared it with the original
file on disk. Here is what I've observed....
- The two files (good & bad) were identical in size!
- The bad file did contain some \n and \r but there were not adjacent.
I did a "cmp good_file bad_file" and here is a partial output:
32769 172 0
32771 377 341
32772 0 303
32773 274 0
32774 333 0
32775 234 342
32776 204 303
32777 50 22
32778 262 0
32779 7 0
32780 146 0
32781 41 265
...
As you can see, it is NOT a cr/nl problem. It looks like bits are getting dropped. Another
thing to note, I can purge my cache and reload the page. The reloaded page is still screwey
but NOT in an identical fashion. If it was a cr/nl problem, I would expect it to be
reproducable.
