Hmm... Maybe, maybe. But I see one strange thing in your packet
capture: The second line sent by the HTTP server contains a few dozens
of NULL characters in a row. This looks like an HTTP server bug, and I
can quite understand that this confuses privoxy, because written in C,
and strings in C are NULL-terminated.

But there is still another problem left, because I can't get
hb-rights.org through privoxy, and I don't get any NULL's from the
server.

It isn't related to my patch at all: The problem is present with an
unpatched upstream CVS, too.
