Actually, having tried it now, it seems to work.

It's on the list to do this week.

I can return the length and the data in both cases and it works fine.
	if not equations:
     		length = len(data)
     		return length, data

	if equations:
    		[...munge the parse-tree-object into a string...]
    		length = len(parse-tree-object-string)
    		return length, parse-tree-object-string

I can not return the length in both cases and not use the CONTENT_LENGTH
filter, and it works fine.
	if not equations:
		return data
	if equations:
		return munged-data

If I try to use the CONTENT_LENGTH filter and set the length manually,
it doesn't work.
	if not equations:
		return length, data
	if equations:
		return munged-data    (<--- no length)

At this point, I no longer have the slightest clue what the code that
had the original problem looked like, and I'm too tired to dig around in
subversion to find it. Right now the problem looks to be fixed; I'll
keep poking at it to see how I can make it break if I find the time.

Thanks for all your help.
