The latest versions in unstable.

Yes.

But it will not trigger the bug. Instead I have found a way to
reproduce it:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# create scratch directory
mkdir /tmp/scratch
cd /tmp/scratch
# create a bunch of files for the listing
touch $(seq 500)
# create a big file
dd if=/dev/zero of=sparse-file bs=1 count=0 seek=2G
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
=> The listing of /tmp/scratch in the browsers is truncated.
This will very likely not be reproducible under amd64, so you should get
yourself an i386 chroot for it. In the original directory I have a 4G
DVD image which triggered the problem.
Cheers,
Sven
