i posted another version which implements the way you suggested.

btw, the use of pin.reason to determine which of max_len (pin.send_len)
or miss_send_len to use seems broken for NX CONTROLLER action, which
seems to allow a user to specify a reason.  while i'm ignorant of NX
spec (is it publically available?), i guess it's necessary to have
pin.real_reason or something like that.
