Am I right in my understanding that the bug is trimming the 4 bytes from the start of the packet in the reader is only needed on the BSD platforms, but the old version does it on any non-DARWIN, non-WIN32 platform? The only other differences that I can see are that there is now a heartbeat for Ayiya, a slight structure change which may or may not be hidden by not packing the struct, and the change in port number. All four of these are trivial to produce a targetted patch for... Am I on the right track, or have I missed something?
