 Fully reproducible bug that only happens once "FileMaxSize" is reached.


 Below are ffserver configuration for a feed+stream.
 FFmpeg is started like this;

 ffmpeg -i INPUTMPEGTS http://localhost:8090/feed0.ffm

 This creates a stream that ffmpeg transcodes into h264+aac in a flv
 container and publishes it as http://localhost:8090/feed0.ffm
 The stream is then viewable/downloadable at
 http://localhost:8090/feed0.flv

 Everything is working as expected and FFserver stats page shows that is is
 receiving data.
 However, once FileMaxSize is reached new clients that connect has about
 random chance of around 20-40% of getting the data, the other times the
 stream connects however with no data being received at the client
 (wget/vlc).

 When no data is being received the stats page in ffserver shows; HTTP/1.1
 WAIT_FEED for the client.

 Changing FileMaxSize to 100G would make the stream work for every client
 up until the file is 100G, then the same problems occurs.

 <Feed feed0.ffm>
 File /tmp/feed0.file
 FileMaxSize 5M
 </Feed>

 <Stream feed0.flv>
 Format flv
 Feed feed0.ffm
