Some code in tcpserversrc assumes a blocking socket, by expecting that
read(socket, buffer, size) will either return an error, or will read exactly
size bytes of data.

As suggested by thomasvs on IRC, the solution is to wrap the read in a loop,
until the required amount of data is fetched.

A patch that does that is being tested as I write this.
