Range: bytes=1234-
This requests the content from byte 1234 up to the end of the file. See
server.c line 1648.

Please do, I'll be grateful. It definitely looks like you've found a bug.

Polipo is supposed to react gracefully to error conditions, so unless
you're using a buggy filesystem (cough ext4 cough) and your system
crashes, there should be no cache corruption in this case.

They do happen whenever you interrupt a large download that is going
through Polipo, or view streaming video using Polipo. While this might
not be what *you* use Polipo for, I believe it is an important use case.
