Boy.  I'm not sure if I am going to be able to help you, but I'll take a look 
at the code you posted links to in your followup message.

However, I did want to pipe up and say that I have code that is regularly 
being used to pass files over the wire as large as 100 megabytes, with no 
problems.  This is a web based application, and works just fine in three 
different scenarios that I have tested:

1) Webrick -> application thread
2) Apache/mod_ruby -> seperate ruby process
3) Lighttpd -> FCGI proxy (written in Ruby) -> seperate ruby process
