If write events are not blocked, an extra write event might happen for
various reasons (e.g. as a result of a http pipelining), resulting in
incorrect body being passed to a post handler.
The problem manifested itself with the dav module only, as this is
the only module which reads the body from a content phase handler (in
contrast to exclusive content handlers like proxy). Additionally, dav
module used to dump core in such situations due to ticket #238.
