I thought about that, but the test script just prints "Hello world" every time (static length). The failed requests got 0 bytes, according to the access_log. I haven't figured out this problem yet, but I'm hoping it's a problem with ab (after all, it really shouldn't just crash with "Broken pipe" like that...).
