If ApacheBench complains about length problems, it means
that the length of subsequent requests differs from the 
output length of the first request, so dynamic content usually
screws up ab's response in this way.

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...).
