problem with "HEAD" followed by "BODY" requests on non-cached articles

I'm trying out nntpcache (NNTPCache-2.4.0b5) and have run into the
following oddness.  

The news reader I was testing with (trn) typically does a "HEAD" on an
article, followed by a "BODY".  If the article isn't cached I have the
following two (probably related) problems:

1) "body" includes the header as well as the article body.

2) the header is missing the first two characters "Pa" of "Path") .

Notes:  

- subsequent body requests for the same article _don't_ return the header
- requesting the body before requesting the head or doing "body, head,
  body" doesn't demonstrate the problem
- doing head, article doesn't cause the header returned by the "article"
  command to have characters missing.

Anyone else seen this behaviour?  I went looking through the code, but
haven't had a lot of time to spend really understanding what's going on
there and it looks mighty complex.

Thanks,
