If you are able to reproduce the problem again by enabling 
sendfile in nginx, you may want to trace relevant syscalls nginx 
does and try to reproduce exactly the same in your C test program.  
In particular, something like O_DIRECT, non-blocking mode on 
sockets, or sendfile() headers/trailers might be important.
