You really want to pull your lines value from overview rather than from
the Lines header if available.  The Lines header is discouraged, and may
even be deprecated, in USEFOR, due to the fact that it's unreliable in
practice (leading to errors just like the above).  Overview is
"guaranteed" correct by the local server.
