Have you tried asking this question on the apache mailing list at
http://www.apache.org/foundation/mailinglists.html ?

as a sidenote I have noted that the 416 error message is a *client*
side error see below

according to http://www.addedbytes.com/apache/http-status-codes-explained/

Client Error
<snip>
* 416 - Requested Range Not Satisfiable
A 416 status code indicates that the server was unable to fulfill the
request. This may be, for example, because the client asked for the
800th-900th bytes of a document, but the document was only 200 bytes
long.

and

according to http://www.websitepulse.com/kb/4xx_HTTP_status_codes.html

416 - Requested Range Not Satisfiable
A server usually returns a response with 416-status code if a request
included a Range request-header field, and none of the range-specifier
values in this field overlap the current extent of the selected
resource, and the request did not include an If-Range request-header
field. For example if the resource is an image file and has 1000
bytes, and the Range requested is 500-1500, then it cannot be
satisfied.
