I'm guessing that you are using a mod_perl handler to serve these, and it's going wrong on the second one. I opened it in vim and got this: dDate(">=",2003,31,1)^@^Mjkey=00130779^B5^DõA^B^B^B^A^@a�^^^Døï^QJø^Ge^@^@p<97>~hòd^@^@q<97>~hòd^@^@^L954925515513 $obj->parsedDate(">=",2003,27,1)^@^Mjkey=00004348^B5^DõA^B^B^B^A^@a�^^^Døð^QJø^Ge^@^@p<97>~hòd^@^@q<97>~hòd^@^@^L954925269341 $obj->parsedDate(">=",2003,32,1)^@^Mjkey=00008843^B5^DõA^B^B^B^A^@a�^^^Dø�^UJø^Ge^@^@p<97>~hòd^@^@q<97>~hòd^@^@^L954925516554 $obj->parsedDate(">=",2000,38,1)^@^Mjkey=00003088^B5^DõA^B^B^B^A^@a�^^^Dø�^UJø^Ge^@^@p<97>~hòd^@^@q<97>~hòd^@^@^L954925517577 $obj->parsedDate(">=",1999,26,1)^@^Mjkey=00023172^B5^DõA^B^B^B^A^@a�^^^Dø�^UJø^Ge^@^@p<97>~hòd^@^@q<97>~hòd^@^@^L954925517584 $obj->parsedDate(">=",2001,21,1)^@^Mjkey=00002881^B5^DõA^B^B^B^C^@d^@�^^^Dø�^UJø^Ge^@^@p<97>~hòd^@^@q<97>~hòd^@^@^O110978978737417 $obj->parsedDate(">=",2000,14,1)^@^Mjkey=00133570^B5^DõA^B^B^B^A^@a�^^^Dø�^UJø^Ge^@^@p<97>~hòd^@^@q<97>~hòd^@^@^L Looks like perl code to me, like maybe you're serving an un-dereferenced code ref?
