Strange behavior with jpegs and Apache 2.0.50

Something funny has been happening. Started with 2.0.43 of Apache on
Win2k SP2. If just did a basic installation and configuration of
2.0.50 and having the same problem. Don't know where to start
looking.

In the document root, i have a index.html file that loads a simple
jpeg file. if the jpeg is greater then 5k in size, it does not
display in my IE 5.5 browser and Firefox returns me 'The image
"http://localhost:8080/link.jpg" cannot be displayed, because it
contains errors.'. However, the same image, reduced and sized in
photoshop to less then 5k displays without a problem.
I have taken 2K jpegs that loaded fine then just blew them up to more
then 5k and the browser stops to displays them.
What gives?
Where do i start to look?

This may be caused by a problem with Zone Alarm software
firewall. Please read a few of the threads in the last few weeks
in this group and you will know what happened and also what to
do.
