+      This was a problem for custom request methods (such as

+      <para>Before calling <function>vcl_miss</function>, Varnish
+      assembles a tentative request object for the backend request

+      <para>Under some circumstances, due to an error in the workspace
+      management code, Varnish would lose the "tail" of a request,
+      i.e. the part of the request that has been received from the
+      client but not yet processed.  The most obvious symptom of this
+      was that POST requests would work with some browsers but not
+      others, depending on details of the browser's HTTP
+      implementation.  This has been corrected.</para>
