Thanks for reporting this Joe!
Could you attach a minimal testcase to reproduce this?

Hi Joe, I'm not sure what you mean here. Can you point us to a url where this is the case, or attach an example?

Unfortunately I can't provide a URL, to see the issue you'd have to become a customer of the company I'm working for. 

I haven't had a chance to build a test case either.  

To give some context to the bug:
- Discovered it while testing streaming stock quotes for the financial company I'm working with
- The technology driving the GET requests is the AJAX Push Engine (APE) Project, website: http://ape-project.org/
- The streaming quotes were being retrieved at a rate of one every 250 milliseconds (4 times per second)
- The JSON object that was returned ranged in size between 10k and 60k depending on the number of quotes returned at the time it was requested.

Hope that might be able to help.  I wish I could give time right now to create a test case but I just don't have the time right now.
