Did you read

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=610045&group_id=54
975&atid=475503
which is the bug report for this effect in 1.3.19.2a?

Christian claims to have repaired at least a part of this
effect - does that match with your experience?
If not, could you please post what might be missing there?

Surprise. 1.3.26.1a is meant to suppress "Vary:" headers by
actively excluding as many items as possible - because it is
much easier to identify an "exlude" rule that always fires
than the fact that no include rule will ever fire ...

Good idea - effective and fast.
