[Xitami] Bug: SSI Includes aren't recursive

I just noticed that the SSI include tag (e.g. the one on the testssi
page <!--#include file="testssi.inc"-->) cuases the rest of the
including document (e.g. testssi.ssi) after the tag not to get delivered
if the included document itself uses SSI as the example include does.
SSI returns just fine if the included document itself does not try any
SSI calls.
This is true using Xitami 2.5b5 (and 2.5b4) with NS6.1, 4.7 and IE5 and
appears to be a xitami thing in that the HTML is in fact completely
unfinished. I'm guessing that Xixssi doesn't deal well with the same
page requiring 2 levels of return.
Also in the process of debugging and playing I noticed that Xitami has a
limit on files with SSI includes of about 35,000+ bytes (one file
displayed upto the 35922nd byte, another upto the 35553rd) and any data
thereafter is abruptly truncated. The limit is not there for pure HTML
files - I can successfully read 1Mbyte + sized .htm files but the same
file renamed as .SSI will be truncated around this point even if it has
no includes.
