It was using IE on Win, Netscape 4.7 on Linux and Mozilla 0.9.8 on
Linux. This seems to imply that it's a problem with the acroread plugin,
and not with the OS or the Browser.

The windows machine was on the same subnet (I think a switch was
inbetween, but might be a bridge), the linux client had some routers
inbetween, but no load balancing. The server is an debian woody on linux
2.4.17, Apache 1.3.23-1 using mod-rewrite using proxy rules [P] to hide
zope 2.4.2-0.2, all the precompiled debian packages.

We currently "solved" the problem by putting the file into a directory
where it is served directly by apache, and this seems to work.
