Are you saying it crashes in "req.sendfile()"? Does it crash on various
filles or just that one PDF file? How big is that PDF file? Can you send
the complete handler code, or is that it, bar returning of apache.OK?

It might also help if you go through procedure described in:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-December/019735.html

to use gdb to find out exactly where it is crashing.

Lets see if we can work out why first as logging a bug with just this
information isn't really going to help too much.
