RHEL4 2.0.52 Strange Issues (core_output_filter pipe)

I am seeing very strange behavior with 2.0.52 RHEL4. Pages simply will
not finish loading, and when I look at the logs I find,

[Mon Jun 11 10:21:57 2007] [info] (32)Broken pipe: core_output_filter:
writing data to the network
[Mon Jun 11 10:21:59 2007] [info] (32)Broken pipe: core_output_filter:
writing data to the network

Usually this is associated with configuration of MMAP/Sendfile from a
network mounted volume, and thus you are advised to turn these
features off. Here that is not the case and does not fix the issue.

This problem is prevalent throughout every aspect of my site. Simple
directory indexes do not load completely (only 50 or so items will be
listed before it stalls and fails). While Firefox will reasonably deal
with this, IE will completely fail and give me a "cannot find server"
page, even though it started to load the page.

XHTML Validation of pages that experience this problem give the same
error in the logs and spit out "500 Line too long (limit is 4096)".

I have seen various posts about this online but no fixes online have
helped me. Would welcome suggestions.

I thought I would add a little info. For directory indexes of small
directories, everything looks fine. Page finishes loading in both IE
and firefox and I get the server string at the bottom of the index.
However, beyond some critical number of index list items, it dies, and
IE completely fails and displays a "cannot find server" page, which is
of course ridiculous.

Any thoughts would be *greatly* appreciated.

I am also having this problem on a VPS with RHEL4 (or CentOS4 rathat)
and Apache 2.0.52, I get
a bunch of

[Tue Jul 10 14:57:02 2007] [info] (104)Connection reset by peer:
core_output_filter: writing data to the network

and after a while httpd dies. Very anoying.

neither 'EnableMMAP off' or 'EnableSendfile off' seem to help.

Any clues woudl be *greatly* appreciated.
