Oh my.  This really does look like a kernel bug.  Can you confirm it
with an strace?  Have you reported this regression to the right kernel
folks?

I guess it would help if we could write a simpler test program to
isolate whether this recvfrom bug exists in a bare minimum number of
syscalls.  Meanwhile, I have no idea how to work around a buggy recvfrom
that doesn't return the correct number of bytes.
