Thanks for the help.  Using the latest release fixed the empty response; it
doesn't return a 414 but at least it now returns a 400 bad request.  It
isn't a big deal though as our front facing Apache HTTP server does return
414, I just wanted to make sure my testing was thorough.

I didn't realize the large amount of time between the point releases;
unfortunately the .14 release is included by default on our dev machines. 
Thanks again for the help.
