I did, and it still looks ok to me, but obviously it's not, so I'll have to do some more digging.
The only thing I can think of right now that might be a possible cause would be in splice_direct_to_actor(), if we had an incomplete transfer, the sd->pos returned and assigned would have the value set by the failed actor(). Maybe something like the following would take care of that case, but I haven't had a chance to test it yet - will do that tomorrow night...
