If you mean related to the buffer size, then I think I know what you mean.
Rust has "slice" types, which are "views" into a block of memory
represented as a pointer and a length. They panic e.g. if an out-of-bound
read occurs. Setting that length may be problem, since it's not supplied
with connect_port().
