 There is a bug in either swfupload or Flash itself that sometimes causes
 the server response from a file upload to be truncated in Linux and Mac
 OS:

 http://code.google.com/p/swfupload/issues/detail?id=4&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Summary%20FixReleasedIn%20FixTargetedFor

 It appears only to happen on certain servers.  I've been able to reproduce
 this using my MacBook - it fails on some WP installs but not others.  I
 haven't been able to determine the cause (nor have the swfupload
 developers it appears) but I suspect it's a bug in the Flash Player's
 TCP/IP code.

 The enclosed patch works around the problem by greatly reducing the size
 of the server response to a Flash file upload.  Instead of returning a big
 chunk o html on success it returns the ID of the uploaded file.  The html
 detail form for the file is then fetched in a second ajax request.
