No real ideas, but a hunch... check your server system log (
/var/log/messages on Linux ) for signs that httpd has crashed. Not
sure what you would do about it, but if you don't see any indication
that Apache is barfing, you can cross that possibly off the list and
look for other factors.

What *does* happen? Zero-length file? 
Is there an entry in the httpd access_log?

Hmmm.
