Uploading binary files

I'm trying to upload files through an HTML form, but it only works
for text files.  When I try to send a jpeg or something the process just
hangs, and I can't even change the script afterward since the webserver
won't release the file!  Any ideas?  This is basically how I'm doing it now:

form = cgi.FieldStorage()
formItem = form[inputName]

if formItem.file:
    print "Received file [" + formItem.filename + "]"
    data = formItem.file.read()
    ...
