This is the bug. client3_3_readv_cbk (and for that matter all the actors/cbks) expects response in utmost two vectors:
1. Program header containing request or response. This is subjected to decoding/encoding. This vector should point to a buffer that contains the entire program header/response contiguously.
2. If the procedure returns payload (like readv response or a write request), second vector contains the buffer pointing to the entire (contiguous) payload. Note that this payload is raw and is not subjected to encoding/decoding.
In your case, this _clean_ separation is broken with part of program header slipping into 2nd vector supposed to contain read data (may be because of rpc fragmentation). I think this is a bug in socket layer. I'll update more on this.
