+Subject: [PATCH] Upstream: fixed parsing of split status lines
+
+If the first response line was split across reads and it didn't appear
+a status line, the portion already processed was lost.  To preserve ABI,
+the change reuses r->header_name_start for proper backtracking on status
+line fallback.
