http response 304 with content

I am testing with Apache 2.0.49 and tomcat 5.0.28
 
In my Ethereal Trace (Ethereal running on browser PC) (Tracer:browser client to server) I sometimes see HTTP/1.1 responses 304 (Not Modified).
A message body (content>0) is included in this response.
 
According to HTTP protocol a 304 response MUST NOT contain any content:
 
from HTTP/1.1 protocol (RFC 2616):
If the client has performed a conditional GET request and access is allowed, but the document has not been modified, the server SHOULD respond with this status code. The 304 response MUST NOT contain a message-body, and thus is always terminated by the first empty line after the header fields. 
 
Why does this happen?

Hello Mark,
   
  Would a Ethereal trace be enough for you?

Do you have a simple test case the reliably demonstrates this issue? 
If so, create a bug report and attach it. Without a test case there 
isn't much we can do.

Hello Mark,
   
  Sorry, but the bug you quote mentions errors with the HTTP-response headers.
   
  My problem is an 304 response with sent content (=content-length >0):
  the content is e.g. the requested JPG file.
   
   
  kind regards 
  Axel
