Yeah, I looked into this, but I do not see why this has anything to do with 
sendfile in FreeBSD.
When you upload a file, you (the server) don't *send* anything, you *read*, so 
sendfile(2) shouldn't even come into play. Why this magically starts working 
when changing the write backend, is a mystery, but most likely the answer 
lies in PHP.

If you can, use a different upload script for testing, one that is not done 
via PHP, but plain CGI. There should be some available on the net.
