There it is, right in front of my face. Thanks for not being a jerk about pointing out the obvious to me. :-D My excuse is "it's Monday."

The question becomes, then, what is the output when the input is an error? Garbage or nothing? I think it might make for a more difficult recovery (then again, maybe it won't) if, for example, 100 good bytes + 10 errors [in] == 100 bytes out, instead of 110 bytes out (10 of which are garbage).
