 When the data is read from the backend there is no checking of the return
 code for the read.

 This can lead to $length being the empty string which then causes Perl to
 throw an error when it tries to do integer($length).

 The attached patch protects from this.  I haven't seen the problem
 personally (it was reported to me) so I haven't been able to fully check
 it (but the reporter is no longer seeing errors).
