You would think there would be a:
total += ret;
here.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And that this would be a "return total;"
The comment at the start of the function says that it's supposed to return the
actual number of bytes that were copied. And you can see how that was the
intention.
But what it actually does is it always reports that it copied the complete
number of bytes. #Success #Woohoo
I wouldn't feel comfortable changing it to report partial copies without testing
it. Someone needs to look at it more carefully to figure out what the correct
fix is.
