I think the original comment was not clear but I think it is a good catch -
instead of return false here we return true because the semantic of
checkFourLetterWord is we only return false if 4lw is not found, and in that
case the caller will think this is a client message and proceed allocate buffer
etc work (iiuc that was what the "it should be processed in that way only"
meant.).
