Hi, i found the problem about the 0-sized file. The new server async i/o splits the data it sends into chunks of 64K, smaller than the old value of 2M. The algorithm which got data from the cache was not able to concatenate multiple blocks smaller than the read ahead size. This was indicated in the remarks as a future improvement, now it was urgent, it's there. Working under Linux, committed, I only need a little more time to test it under solaris.
