Comment (by smueller@…):

 I saw this in my Windows application after upgrading to Boost 1.54. I
 noticed that, during a stress test, frequently the bytes received field in
 my ReadHandler was getting zero and an error_code of zero while a non-zero
 number of bytes was requested from an async_read call. In my case this
 caused stream corruption which could only be resolved in non-library space
 by passing in the number of bytes requested for the read into the handler
 and using that instead of the bytes received value passed to the
 ReadHandler.

 Strangely enough, in my testing, it seemed that activating
 BOOST_ASIO_ENABLE_HANDLER_TRACKING made this problem pop up more
 frequently.
