I'm not sure.

My biggest concern is if we reach timeout or get a signal while waiting 
for the other pieces of a message.
I believe that we should not start copying a message if we have not 
received all the fragments. Otherwise we have this problem.

When we are sure that we have all the pieces, then we should copy them 
without interrupting.

IIRC this was done in previous versions.
