Did I miss the memo, or is users/show and users/lookup defective? They can return empty (zero-byte) responses with an HTTP 200 OK status. It's like a double-rainbow ... what does it meeeeeeeeean? :-)

For example:

http://api.twitter.com/1/users/show.json?user_id=235989888

Interestingly enough, it has this effect:

http://twitter.com/k1dua

I'm sure there are a LOT more users affected, but this was just one at random I picked out of my logs.
