I suspect there is a timeout in Apache core for that version, and that
2.2.15 moved the feature into a module.  See the TimeOut directive:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#timeout

The default of five minutes seems quite sufficient.

You might also prove if it is a cause, using tcpdump to capture the port
80 TCP stream, then analyse it to see if the connection was closed
prematurely by the server.  Only then try changing the timeout.

If you see OpenFirmware's side of the packet stream misbehaving, let me
know.
