Apache httpd: Can't POST a file greater than ~260MB

So here's a weird problem.  I have a form that POSTs files.  While it's uploading (and I'm runing "watch -n 'ls -lh /tmp'"), when the file hits about 260MB, it vanishes.  On the client/browser-side, the file continues to "upload" until it's finished regardless.  Files under this bizarre 260MB limit POST as they should.

I thought this was a PHP problem, but I saved my rendered site as a static .html file and it has the same behavior.  LimitRequestBody is not set on any <Directory> tags so it's defaulted to 0 (unlimited).  If I set it anyway, same issue.  There's ~3G of free space on the server (a virtual machine, if you're curious).

Any ideas?  I'm stumped.

How large is your /tmp?

/R
