This is caused by a patch that the Debian version applies.  I've filed
a bug report with them to remove it.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=298143

The patch came from here:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/httpd-2.0/server/protocol.c?root=Apache&r1=1.150&r2=1.151

The patch was later reverted:
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi?root=Apache-SVN&rev=110141&view=rev

Dominique, you could also just remove that patch from your debian
source package:

debian/patches/035_HEAD_Content-Length_Fix_From_CVS

And rebuild it.  Contact me off-list if you need assistance with this
before the Debian package is fixed.
