Implemented: download snapshots/setuptools-0.6c12dev-r88793.tar.gz to test. Thanks for the report!

Some servers (e.g., wwwsearch.sourceforge.net) apparently send multiple 'Content-Length' headers, which causes setuptools to barf trying to convert a '<length>, <length>' string to an integer. This bug breaks installing 'mechanize', which lists wwwsearch.sourceforge.net as its Download-URL, and therefore causes a bunch of Zope-related tests to fail (e.g., https://mail.zope.org/pipermail/cmf-tests/2011-March/014576.html ). The attached patch uses 'headers.getheaders('Content-Length')[0] to use only the first value found.
