 For example if large file is present in the directory and the directory is 
 listed
 using apache (ie mod_autoindex), the presented filesize is the real filesize
 modulo 2GB. I think in these days, when filesizes 2GB are getting more common
 (see DVD images, etc.) it's critical bug that default installation of apache 
 in
 such distribution as Debian doesn't support them.

Hi.  We don't actually include all the apache modules in the apache
package; this would be an awful maintenance burden.  Instead we
allow people to create their own packages, normally of the form
libapache-mod-vhost-dbi, etc.  So these can be RFP'd just like any other
Debian package; see the instructions at http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

And I counter-propose replacing the constant string Debian GNU/Linux

My understanding of the security problem is that you need to always set

utf-8 rather than latin1 in new installations.

It wouldn't be hard for the kernel to do at all.  But unfortunately,

The kernel is *required* to keep them around after all processes exit.

This is a decision that predates my involvement with Apache.  From some
