I was hoping that this uninformative error was now spurious, meaning
that my 'fix' indeed only got rid of the error message. However, as it
seems, the stream is still truncated. I rebuilt the truncation check,
now with a proper error and disconnect (because the protocol state is
invalid then).
However, regarding the core of this problem, I am unable to reproduce
this at my end without access to a FreeBSD system. Could you (or some
other FreeBSD user) try to dig a little deeper to find out exactly why
the stream ends prematurely? Alternatively, I would have to install
FreeBSD somewhere, which will take more time.
