Is the packet > size being truncated? It means that the packet sent by the server caused the client to overrun because the end-marker was not found (i.e. the client found itself attempting to read beyond the end of the packet). Two possibilities: - The server is failing to set the end-marker. - The server is sending a packet that exceeds the 4k buffer advertised by the client, and so the packet is truncated before we reach the end-marker. This is a non-fatal error, since the client should have no problems recovering (it detect the overrun, and inserts its own end-marker) however we still send out a warning message.
