Spoke too soon. On Debian setting the buffer to any size always returns me 2048, so that's no good.
On WinXP some values (1,2) do what you said. Others (10,12) don't. I'm not sure what to do about that. It seems to be the OS.

Well I'm trying to get rid of the bugs in it...
I don't get that on WinXP though (Pd 0.41.4-extended). I set the buffer to 12 and still received 30 bytes.
On Debian with Pd 0.41.4-extended I get two separate messages (each longer than 12) but still all the data arrives.
