Comment (by smueller@…):

 This is a problem for most of the I/O calls used by the Windows
 implementation:
 WriteFile
 ReadFile
 WSASend
 WSARecv
 WSASendTo
 WSARecvFrom

 Interestingly enough, AcceptEx does not have this problem. MSDN explicitly
 states that if AcceptEx returns ERROR_PENDING to indicate asynchronous
 completion, the bytes received parameter is not written to at all.
