I see - I actually thought `len` always equals 1.  When I wrote the code I
traced `read-in` and observed the size of given bytes; I must have been
reading the port with `read-byte` at the time - that was my
misunderstanding.  Now that you explained it it's clear where the random
bytes came from - `copy-port` uses a much larger buffer...

Thanks again! ;)
