Hi Paul,
I'm not able to reproduce this issue. I'm making my request like this:
twurl -t /1/statuses/filter.json -d "track=Boston,hockey,Obama" -H '
stream.twitter.com' --no-ssl
I would recommend not using terms like 'the, and, or' in your filter though.
Those words are extremely common and you will find yourself limited very
quickly. Instead pick specific terms that you want to track, or combine two
filter words together with a space.
More information on the AND and OR format of the track parameter is
available on our developer resources site:

Best,
