data, if the packed data is contiguous and the unpacked one is not. The
problem was that the unpack function did not update the bConverted value
to the real number of bytes extracted from the iovecs, but limit the update
to the number of bytes moved into the user buffers. So, if there were some
bytes copied in the internal pending buffer, they were lost because the next
convertor instead of using the correct bConverted (with the total number of
bytes) has only the transfered number. The result of this bug, is a shift to
left by few bytes of the values in the user buffers.
Add a protection against such kind of errors in the new_position.c.
