Hi

_php_stream_passthru has a problem.

It tries to read whole file with systems have mmap (i.e. HAVE_MMAP 1),
it may feed to much data to output buffer. (e.g. sending 700MB data to
output buffer will most likely end up with memory limit error)

Is anyone going/would like to fix this problem? If not, I'll.
