According to http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-103.html,
apache-1.3.22-6.i386.rpm is the correct package to use to fix the chunked
encoding problem.

More often than not, Red Hat won't upgrade to the latest version of a
package to fix a problem.  Instead they backport the fix to whatever
version they're currently shipping. The "-6" in the package name indicates
that this is the 6th change they've made to the stock Apache 1.3.22
distribution.  This sort of naming can cause a fair amount of confusion.
