Hi folks!

I just updated henrietta-cache to version 1.8.  This version works
around an important bug in CHICKEN 6 and also adds an option to set the
http line limit.

The line limit is a safety measure in intarweb to reject overlong HTTP
headers from malicious servers.  It is set by default at 1024, which
should be generous enough for most normal uses.  Unfortunately,
bitbucket has now changed their CSP header and it includes a laundry
list of hosts and different settings.  So any egg hosted on bitbucket is
currently failing to download, and new releases are consequently not
picked up by henrietta-cache.

The CHICKEN 6 bug affects you only if you're running henrietta-cache
under CHICKEN 6.  It now uses sendfile instead of copy-port, because
the latter is currently broken for binary I/O it seems, sometimes
causing a hard crash on an assertion failure.

Please update to henrietta-cache 1.8, and change the invocation to use
the new -L option.  I recommend setting it to 2048 for now.

Cheers,
Peter
