[ic] Problems with PreFork

[Mike Heins]

Quoting Bill Carr:

This is almost surely a web server problem. Are you using
mod_interchange by chance? Try changing your link methodology.

Probably by checking what the Vend::Server::respond routine is
actually sending. My guess is that there is a buffer not getting
completely flushed in the link.
