Thanks for filing, Michael. Can you also put in the exact recipe you
used -- that is, the material in your email? It had exact file sizes
and stuff...

> + | DESCRIPTION |
> + When a commit over ra_dav is adding a file to the repository, the
> + httpd process allocates as much memory as the size of the file being
> + transfered. For large files this isn't possible and httpd runs out of
> + memory midway through the commit.
> +
> + How to replicate:
> +
> + 1. Create a huge file containing random data. I used dd and
> + /dev/urandom. The file only has to be a little bigger than the maximum
> + ammount of memory a process on the server can allocate. You can reduce
> + the hard limit on the data segment size to view this problem with a
> + smaller file if you wish.
> +
> + 2. Add the file to a repository.
> +
> + 3. Commit the change.
> +
> + 4. Watch httpd run out of memory.
