JBoss EAP 5 fails to parse chunk encoded MCMP responses with parsing error

Issue

• JBoss fails to parse MCMP responses with a java.lang.NumberFormatException:

INFO  [DefaultMCMPHandler] Error parsing response header for command CONFIG
java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "[1],Name:"

• We note this can occur with lots of nodes, contexts, and/or aliases as httpd may use chunked encoding for larger responses. JBoss is not properly parsing such chunk encoded MCMP responses.
• The JBoss node has -1 load on the httpd mod_cluster-manager page and is not being sent requests. Requests on httpd fail with an error saying "All workers in error state"
• JBoss fails to parse MCMP responses with a java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException:

INFO  [org.jboss.modcluster.mcmp.impl.DefaultMCMPHandler] (ContainerBackgroundProcessor[StandardEngine[jboss.web]]) Error parsing response header for command CONFIG
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
