George,
We had a similar problem to this one in the past (a year or so ago). I
just flat out blocked the IP altogether (not even specific to
/bitstream/) via this Apache configuration:
<Location />
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from {malicious ip}
Allow from all
</Location>
This looks similar to your config though (except it blocks all access
from that IP).
