Comment (by smueller@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 Shane Powell <killerbee@…>]:
 > Where you using UDP?  I was mainly taking about TCP.  The same kind-of
 problem would affect UDP though.  In UDP, you wouldn't get a EOF, you
 would get a zero length packet and you would lose data (hence your data
 lose).
 I did not get an EOF, but rather I had a successful result from a composed
 read operation which indicated that zero bytes were received. These read
 operations were performed on a windows::stream_handle object created from
 a named pipe handle.

 I'm planning on making further use of the ASIO library in our
 communication stack for TCP/IP, where I'm sure I would have seen the exact
 same symptoms. Thanks a ton for your investigation!
