  Like always, this type of things are painfull to track.

  It turned out to be code rearrangement bug -- a variable which before
  got always set by explicite call didn't anymore -- and it retained
  old value; 4, which happens to be EAI_AGAIN, and it in the end causes
  accumulated (valid!) data to be discarded, and a return with EX_TEMPFAIL :-(

  In the end the fix became (around line 4574):  n = 0;
