[Zope] Zope PDF display problems

Hi all,

I'm having a problem getting PDF files served by Zope to work within IE 5.5.
When I create an ExternalFile or a Zope File object by uploading a pdf, I
can view the resulting file through Netscape 4.7 and Phoenix.  But when
trying to use IE, it seems to never get the end of the stream and never
renders the file.  If I set Acrobat as a stand-alone for IE, rather than a
plug-in, it works fine.  I have seen mention of various Zope/PDF problems on
the lists, but they say this issue has been fixed.  Strangely enough, I only
have this problem on my servers running on Linux, but my Solaris server
doesn't have the problem.  My setup for all environments is Zope 2.5.1 with
Hotfixes, latest ExternalFile, with Apache 1.3.26 sitting in front.  Most of
my site's visitors will be using IE, so I need to get this working.

Thank you,

Rob Boyd
