The application is going to being supplied to a number of customers who may not know how to or don't have the ability to create/modify a .htaccess file.
I tend to agree with Raditha about this being an Apache issue. Upon complaint to the hosting provider about this issue the did something that increased the upload file size to several hundred kilobytes. They claimed it has something to do with the temp dir where the file is being uploaded to. My suspect now is this issue has nothing to do with php. I'll bet I could write a cgi script as an action to the form and would encounter the same problem.
