Thanks for the bug report and reproduction steps. I can reproduce this problem, and there's definitely a timing sensitive bug here (which a larger paste seems to trigger). There is also perhaps something not quite right about the way select() is behaving here, as it seems to be returning 0 before the timeout expires, which I need to investigate further. I've uploaded a snapshot at [1] with a fix and a workaround. Perhaps you could try that and see if it improves things for you?
