+	  <p>Certain Connection header values will trigger an endless loop, for example:
+	    "Connection: TE,,Keep-Alive"</p>
+	  <p>On receiving such value, lighttpd will enter an endless loop, 
+	    detecting an empty token but not incrementing the current string 
+	    position, and keep reading the ',' again and again.</p>
+	  <p>This bug was introduced in 1.4.31, when we fixed an "invalid read"
