This rare condition is only likely to occur when a client has improperly converted a POST request to a GET request with long query information, when the client has descended into a URI "black hole" of redirection (e.g., a redirected URI prefix that points to a suffix of itself), or when the server is under attack by a client attempting to exploit security holes present in some servers using fixed-length buffers for reading or manipulating the Request-URI.

The GET request is probably too long. Several solutions:
- use POST (best)
- set DEFAULT_LIMIT_REQUEST_LINE inside apache source code and recompile apache.
