I have to ask - you've tried this on multiple client machines? You're
sure it's not the local browser/browser cache/local disk space/temp
space/etc? :) Sometimes the small things are to blame

(also server swap space, server temp space [in case it needed to keep
it on disk somewhere temporarily, etc, etc])

Just my two cents if you're waiting for a response and haven't checked
those silly things out ("why is my server acting up?" and later you
realize you're out of disk space, that's why...)
