Please see my question inline.

I might be missing something but, looking at the code, I don't see any
possibility of num_transferred ever being different than msg->size. To
be honest, it doesn't seem to even make any sense keeping the local
variable there, because msg->size can be simply always returned, as
errors are handled by jumping to aux_error label.
