Dear Maintainer,

This bug report was also filed in Ubuntu and can be found at
http://launchpad.net/bugs/1073588
The description, from Troels Liebe Bentsen, follows:

Pound will fail to serve request if the total header size is larger than 4K,
with large cookes, fx when storing SAML tokens for single sign in, this limit
will be reached.

For most web servers the limit is around 8K:

So why not compile pound with that as the default:

--with-maxbuf=8192

Regards Troels
