Upgrade problem?

 I'm using the Debian stable version 3.4.4-4 with the original ices.
 Yes, that's correct. Up to 3.4.4-1  all has been well.
 Some type of protocol error is producing:
   EROR connection/_handle_connection HTTP request parsing failed  
   EROR admin/admin_handle_request Error parsing command string or
   unrecognised command: !POKE

   on every change of tune.
   Needless to say ices has not changed in many a moon.
   What other icecast.xml change might produce this?
