I'm keen to identify what your problem is, however, Duncan is on
vacation, and I'm writing up my dissertation. Possibly Lennart can track
this down if its a Data.Binary issue. If its a ByteString issue, Duncan
or I can investigate it soonish.

However, we'll need a test case, so more info please! :-)

Also, the first place to look would be Data.Binary (and also try out the
stable branch of Data.ByteString).
