I looked at that last night. It provides a way to decode packets, but
my confusion lies in, how would I  (easily) get the packet to decode...
while I was in the middle of actually attempting to receive the actual
application data.  (I will however, investigate further.)

Yes, I had thought of that, but running a packet sniffer is a 'hell of an
overkill'
to determine something (that in retrospect) should have been reported back
to the application (somehow).

So far, all I seem to have is an application level timeout.
