Before you start reading the next character you check for the protocol
errors and the client state. One typical case of deadlock is that you
occasionally received some garbage (UDP, RS232 w/o handshake) or that the
client responded with an emergency "out-of-band" request waiting for
confirmation while you keep on reading the standard response of a longer
length.
