No need, I've think I've got to the bottom of it now. It appears that the
OS/2 implementation of writev() chokes if the total bytes > 64k. It returns
EINVAL but server/core.c:3189 says /* XXX: log the error */ rather than
actually logging the error :-(
So what's a reliable way to ensure no more than 64k gets writev()'d? I
guess I should break it up appropriately in apr_sendv() as it's most likely
an OS/2 only problem.
I also noticed some odd behaviour, the iovec looks like:
$65 = {{iov_base = 0x16c340 "", iov_len = 284}, {iov_base = 0x152c20 "",
iov_len = 8192}, {iov_base = 0x154c80 "8", ' ' <repeats 199 times>...,
iov_len = 808}, {iov_base = 0x154fa8 ' ' <repeats 200 times>...,
iov_len = 7384}, {iov_base = 0x156d20 "16", ' ' <repeats 198 times>...,
iov_len = 1616}, {iov_base = 0x157370 ' ' <repeats 200 times>...,
iov_len = 6576}, {iov_base = 0x158dc0 "24", ' ' <repeats 198 times>...,
iov_len = 2424}, {iov_base = 0x159738 ' ' <repeats 200 times>...,
iov_len = 5768}, {iov_base = 0x15ae60 "32", ' ' <repeats 198 times>...,
iov_len = 3232}, {iov_base = 0x15bb00 ' ' <repeats 200 times>...,
iov_len = 4960}, {iov_base = 0x15cf00 "40", ' ' <repeats 198 times>...,
iov_len = 4040}, {
iov_base = 0x15dec8 ' ' <repeats 55 times>, "\n44", ' ' <repeats 142
times>..., iov_len = 4152}, {iov_base = 0x15efa0 "48", ' ' <repeats 198
times>...,
iov_len = 4848}, {iov_base = 0x160290 ' ' <repeats 200 times>...,
iov_len = 3344}, {iov_base = 0x161040 "56", ' ' <repeats 198 times>...,
iov_len = 5656}, {iov_base = 0x162658 ' ' <repeats 200 times>...,
iov_len = 2536}}
It looks like an interaction going on between a 9000 byte limit & an 8192
byte limit. Looks far from optimal to me.....
