Which version of Hunchentoot are you using, dev or release?  Have you
checked that it actually does the right thing when sending chunked
content?  I would hope that it does, but with the dev version I'm less
sure and even with the release version there's of course always a
chance that there are bugs.  Also, could it be that you get requests
for partial content somewhere that aren't handled as expected?
