There is no guarantee that a single recv call on one end of a connection will get all the data sent with a single send call on the other end.

Can you try calling WSAGetLastError after you receive the partial bytes?

WSAGetLastError() returns 0;

was curious - it was easier to have you check since you had working code.

How long does your recv sit before it returns?

I think we have our answer - always check the number of bytes received
