Sounds like it, but it is not the same.

The initialization of *both* of the variables "limit" and "bytes" to anything
other than zero contributes to the problem. Your patch fixes one half of the
problem, my patch fixes the other half.

You can easily test this with the test program in my previous message.
Just compile and run it, and point lynx to http://whatever:12345.
