The site from the log, www.vmware.com, is running Apache 1.3.39, a really
old version... I've tried to find a bug entry for this problem on
issues.apache.org, but without success.

Dobromir, what sites are you seeing this with, and what versions of Apache?

This *is* seriously broken behaviour, but IMHO if a significant number of
servers on the net show it, one can only admit defeat and implement a
workaround. :-| (Unfortunately, Netcraft does not seem to provide numbers
on the popularity of individual Apache versions. :-/) Anyway, how kludgy
would such a hypothetical workaround be in this case?

Cheers,
