I used gdb, and my process doesn't reach at all the end of reading. It
gets blocked writting to stdout. The system input TCP queue to apache
is still filled with 70KB of data in the test I did. And the browser
didn't receive any byte. And I know my program processed an amount of
data (it makes the hard disk pain a bit, so I can 'hear' when it does
something).
