Comment (by witsch):

 another update:  i can reliably reproduce the issue with files larger then
 a certain value.  the only response headers sent are
 {{{
 Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2009 08:04:00 GMT
 Last-Modified: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 08:54:11 GMT
 Content-Length: 687948038
 Content-Type: application/x-tar
 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=foo.tar
 }}}
 apparently varnish runs into the above described problem of not being able
 to allocate a "stovedore" in the middle of fetching the object from the
 backend and then simply return a successfull (i.e. 200), but otherwise
 completely empty response...

 ps: this is using 2.0.4 with a storage size of 16gb and the threshold size
 doesn't change when adding more storage
