So you're saying this is a problem you've had?

I've turned off caching in TT, inserted "Motörhead múm" into the
template as static text and a BOM (od -x 0000000 bbef 3cbf...) as
the first octets. Works first time, fails second.

I parse this out of the final string abd is also printed using an octet
unpicker:

[Fri Jan 29 22:55:48 2010] -e: Motörhead
[Fri Jan 29 22:55:48 2010] -e: 4d6f74c3b67268656164 

Looks about right. when it fails: 

[Fri Jan 29 22:55:52 2010] -e: Motörhead 
[Fri Jan 29 22:55:52 2010] -e: 4d6f74c3b67268656164

As far as I'm concerned it's getting mangled *after* I've unleashed it
to apache. It's a low traffic app. I'm sorely tempted to load up a
startup.pl and set MaxRequestsPerClient to 1.
