First, this answer will not solve your problem but I wish will help you to identify the exact trouble.
Try to disable every module/option, one by one. Also try to remove some rules, maybe start with __DOS_HAS_ANY_URI That will not solve your issue but it will probably help to find what is causing the issue.
