Not sure, if I get your intention here. But as Jonathan suggested, something
went seriously wrong, if the sizes don't match here. Reading further, until
the desired size is reached could result in receiving the missing data, or
getting already partial data from the next event. I would leave it as is for
now and see if anyone ever gets this error. Then we can still dig deeper.

I basically agree on this one, but since the majority of the error messages
in this file are currently just printed to stdout, I would prefer to take it
as is (for consistency) and have a follow-up patch to send all error messages
to stderr.
Thanks for your input.
