New Comment:
output buffering was set to Off, though setting it to something else
still had the same result with the test on my box.

What have you set your output_buffering to? (check from phpinfo()
output)

Description:
------------
Apache2 supports byte range response with an output filter. Static
files
over 8000 bytes work fine, but mod_php5 served content only works
correctly if it is <= 8000 bytes
To test I used telnet to submit an HTTP Range request for the included
PHP file from an apache2 server configured with mod_php5. Example
requests are in the actual results.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// upto and including 8000 bytes will allow the byterange filter to
work
//
// NOTE: 8000 byte limit was found by manual trial and error, may vary
per system, but
// my guess would be it has to do with a byte buffer either in mod_php5
or apache2
echo str_repeat(".", 8000);
// anything over 8000 bytes will "fail" (full response)
//echo "\n...one toke over the line";
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Apache's byterange output filter should handle range requests for PHP
responses > 8000 bytes.
Actual result:
--------------
While the test scripts second echo is commented, I get the expected
results:
$ telnet dev.conduit-it.com 80
Trying 10.42.84.2...
Connected to dev.conduit-it.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

We can also see it working for multiple ranges:

So apache is doing all the work for us, until we uncomment the second
echo statement in the repro. script. This puts us over the 8000 byte
limit. At that point, both example requests will return full 200 OK
responses (so content is 8000 periods + our message)
