[PATCH v5 03/28] pkt-line: Make packet_read_line easier to debug

From: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Date: Oct 31, 2009, 00:47 UTC
Message-ID: <1256950067-27938-5-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>
In-Reply-To: <1256950067-27938-1-git-send-email-spearce@spearce.org>

When there is an error parsing the 4 byte length component we now display it as part of the die message, this may hint as to what data was misunderstood by the application.
