Hi Martin,

I was somehow assuming that it maps read() to read(2), which, in turn, would directly map to recv(2), which could return less data.

So it's a semantic change only for the last block. That means that it would be rather pointless to make the change, right?

Right; I rejected the patch. Thanks for all your input.

Regards, Martin
