messager: multiple sends sometimes disappear at server

[twood02]

First, get the code with git checkout bug-multi-message. This has been modified so the server loops, receiving multiple messages from the client, and the client is set to send three messages in sequence.

---

When the client sends multiple messages to the server, sometimes the server only prints out the first or second message. Weird!??!

Here the server only prints "first message", even though the client sends 3 different messages ("first message", "message 2", and "message 3"):

$ ./server
listening on port: 1234
Client ip: 127.0.0.1.
Message (34): [first message]
Client disconnected.

## tcpdump showing all three messages (in this case messages 2 and 3 were sent in one packet)
sudo tcpdump -A -i lo0 port 1234

I ran the client a few more time and occasionally it gets all the messages:

Client ip: 127.0.0.1.
Message (14): [first message]
Message (10): [message 2]
Message (10): [message 3]
Client disconnected.

Other times it only gets two of them:

Client ip: 127.0.0.1.
Message (14): [first message]
Message (20): [message 2]
Client disconnected.

Why is this happening? We are using a TCP socket, so we shouldn't be losing any data!
