I didn't get any answers to this one, but here's what I figured out on
my own:

This was, after all, an Apache problem. I missed that Apache was
returning 416 (Requested Range Not Satisfied) to the GET request. This
appears to be some largefile problem.

I have tested three different Apache servers:

  1. Apache compiled with a sparc64-sun-solaris2.8 gcc works correctly
(200 response to GET).
  2. Apache compiled with a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 gcc and the cflags
"-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE" returns a 416 error.
  3. Apache compiled with a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 gcc and without the
above cflags returns a 403 error and logs "(79)Value too large for
defined data type"

I wish I could find a way to make a 32-bit apache correctly deal with
large files, but running a 64-bit apache is a valid workaround.
