Article text being replaced with strange string upon "Save"

One of my users is having an unusual problem:

every now and then when working on an article and pressing Save part of a sentence is being erased and replaced by a string similar to this:

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Len

We have been trying to trace it down, and I suspect, it occurs when creating links with Textile in the form of "link text":url. This only happens occasionally, and I was wondering, whether the url’s length might be triggering it?

Has anyone seen this?

Any hints would be very much appreciated.

Cheers Martin

Have you tried disabling all those plugins?
Is the problem 100% reproducible?

The problems seems to occur randomly, but from the user’s description it sounds like it’s triggered by adding a link url as mentioned above.

I’m not involved in updating the content of the site, but I’ll do some experimenting in the low-traffic hours.
