stream.setEncoding('utf8') will take care of partial multi-byte
sequences. Your data event listener will receive strings instead of
buffers.
Alternatively, you can concat the buffers together. The buffertools
module has a helper for that but it's quite trivial to implement one
yourself:
// a and b are the input buffers
var c = new Buffer(a.length + b.length);
a.copy(c, 0);
b.copy(c, a.length);
