What does it do? Where is it running? Are you sure it doesn't have anything to do with PR#2066? (http://bugs.apache.org/index/full/2066) I would suggest you try to reproduce the problem with something other than Java on the other end; otherwise, it may well just be the client that is messed up. There are various changes that could have caused the change in behaviour.
