I believe this is part of the HTTP spec, and for a client (eg. browser) to be RFC compliant it must behave this way.
It's an indication of corruption. The response header (from the server) said the body would be n bytes long, but the client received a body of different size. I guess they decided it's better to discard such responses than to proceed as if everything were normal, since there's a good chance something will go wrong when further processing takes place.
I suppose there could be security implications, but if something's tampering with the body, why not the headers as well.
SY> I seriously don't think it is something that sbbs' webserver is doing.
Yeah, I doubt it as well, if only because I haven't heard of this before from anyone else. But I also haven't tried viewing my website from the server itself recently if ever, so I don't know.
