Yes, we are pretty sure that we do not modify the data prior to putting
it on the wire. We have discovered a new fact, however that will
hopefully shed some light on this bizarre error. The error seems to
occur the instance the protobuf message is fragmented in the transport
layer, i.e. when it is larger than a single tcp frame. Any thoughts on
that? Has someone encountered this error before?
