Hm. Does the truncation happen to occur near the 64Kb mark in the page
contents? If so, that'd suggest buffer overrun somewhere in PHP (since
64K would be a pretty likely choice for a buffer size).

Yeah, I'm afraid this is pretty far off-topic for Postgres. I suggest
going back to rag on the PHP people some more. I rather suspect that
you'll find the problem is reproducible without Postgres, if you just
make up a script that echoes the same total volume of data...
