If it does, it will simply send the file's contents.  This is done
through sendfile, which looks at the size of the file, which is
calculated with file-size.  This procedure can return big numbers, for
which Felix has made a change.  This change requires you to compile
chicken twice.

Again, this is *not* a bug in Spiffy or in http.
