Well yes, it's definitely a server problem,
but there's nothing you can do about it unless
you decide you won't talk to servers that do
that :-).

I looked at the printk ratelimit stuff but
it looked like it was not worth the trouble
to avoid the log floods.

Perhaps just log if the length is off by
more than 3? So if some server is
off by more than the Mac write response
we can tell them.  Is it even worth the
trouble to ratelimit the log message if
we don't know of any server's that are off
by that much.

More than 3 sounds good to me :-).
