Subject: Re: bytes received from recvmsg doesn't match FIONREAD

Questions of this sort should normally be directed to linux-net mailing 
list.

>From the code you quoted, I see at least one case where it
will fail -- when the allocated buffer you pass to recvmsg is smaller than
"value" (ie. the datagram is too big for the read buffer).

If that's not the problem, I suggest you reproduce it with a small test
case and post real code and results when it happens.
