The proposed fix is a start, but it's not sufficient to completely fix
the problem.  What if the total of the iovecs wraps around back to 0?
The total size will be returned as a small number, but large amounts of
data will be copied into the allocated buffer since the individual
iovecs can have arbitrary sizes.
The calculated length total is what should be used by the calling function
to decide how much to copy.

Sorry, I assumed the TIPC doing was sane like the rest of the networking.
:-(

I'll fix this up.
