I get the following with a few runs of the above code against a freshly-
built bash-4.2.39 (x24 is just a script that wraps the pipeline):

$ ./bash ./x24
Read status 142, value ""
Read status 142, value "Status:"
Read status 142, value ""
FAILED READ: "OK"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./FragmentedSend.py", line 16, in <module>
    os.write(1, nextSendData[0:sendLength])
OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
$ ./bash ./x24
Read status 142, value ""
Read status 142, value "Statu"
Read status 142, value "s:"
FAILED READ: "OK"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./FragmentedSend.py", line 16, in <module>
    os.write(1, nextSendData[0:sendLength])
OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
$ ./bash ./x24
Read status 142, value ""
Read status 142, value "Status: OK"
FAILED READ: ""
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./FragmentedSend.py", line 16, in <module>
    os.write(1, nextSendData[0:sendLength])
OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
$ ./bash ./x24
Read status 142, value "Sta"
Read status 142, value "tus: O"
FAILED READ: "K"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./FragmentedSend.py", line 16, in <module>
    os.write(1, nextSendData[0:sendLength])
OSError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

I get the same results if I run the pipeline in an interactive shell.
This is pretty much what I expect.  The whitespace and newlines will
disappear due to read's $IFS processing if they're first or last in
the string.
