It is exactly the same bug as I fixed in c/s 8a2c11f8
The short reads/writes themselves aren't inherently a problem. They are
genuine signals that the server should wait for the client to
produce/consume more data.
However, the low level functions erroneously return a short read/write
when hitting the ring boundary when there is actually more space/data.
This causes a protocol stall as the server incorrectly believes that the
client has the next action to perform.
