This seems very strange (it also happens with the .../tree/... pages
showing the hexdump file content).

My guess is that this is caused by the Apache configuration rather than
anything CGit is doing itself.

Have you tested running cgit outside Apache using something like:

	CGIT_CONFIG=/path/to/cgitrc \
	QUERY_STRING=url=JTM/plain/doc/presentations/01_About.odb \
	cgit

That should give some idea whether CGit itself is returning short data
or if the response is being truncated downstream.
