This issue happens with the combination of flup==1.0.2, cherokee==1.2.101, and django==1.3. I've already submitted a patch to Cherokee which fixes this on their end, but the edge case may still happen with other servers (an extra FCGI record being sent after the PARAMs). There is a simple fix for this in Django as well, so I'm submitting it here for consideration.
