You too...
I was close to press the send button but noticed the "BUFSIZE-so_far"
in the read call, just in time(TM).
If it had not been there you would have needed to copy data from the
end of buf (from above BUFSIZE) to the beginning of buf too...
(the required size of buf would have been 2*BUFSIZE)
