[mod_python] Uploading large files

Hello,

When uploading a large file without newlines (a testfile with 100 MB of
\0-bytes), I found that Apache starts to consume a huge amount of
memory. The problem is the two req.readline()-calls in
util.py:read_to_boundary(); since the file doesn't have a newline in it
the first one will return a string of size 100 MB. Replacing both calls
with req.readline(4096) solves this, the rest of the code in
read_to_boundary() seems to work fine when reading lines in multiple calls.

Regards,
Wim.
