Hmmm... perhaps memory fails me, but I don't recall having this problem since I
started using Quixote/Medusa back in January. As you noted, there have been a
few bugs in quixote.server.medusa_http identified and fixed since the time of
the "truncation" report. Perhaps the issue was a side effect of one of these?

All I can say is that I've been using Quixote/Medusa regularly on Win2K and
WinXP machines, and have had no problems or issues that were not solved by the
aforementioned bugfixes.

And, since I'm using Quixote/Medusa in a long-term, critical project, you'll
have at least one other developer out there who will be eager to help fix any
emerging problems related to the Q/M combination!

No need, that patch has already been merged into the source tree. (It was a
patch to Quixote's Medusa handler, not to Medusa itself.)
