I have a socketChannel configured as blocking, but when reading byte buffers of 5K from this socket, I get an incomplete buffer sometimes.

    ByteBuffer messageBody = ByteBuffer.allocate(5*1024);
    messageBody.mark();
    messageBody.order(ByteOrder.BIG_ENDIAN);
    int msgByteCount = channel.read(messageBody);

Ocasionally, messageBody is not completely filled and channel.read() does not return -1 or an exception, but the actual number of bytes read (which is less than 5k).

Has anyone experienced a similar problem?
