We are using a pool of accept sockets; but I would have thought that
the fact that we've been around the loop and set {active, once} before
this happens means that we're not getting bitten by this?

Do you have a link to the fix in 17?

We are using {active, once}; can you point to an example of an OTP
application that handles messages across multiple packets? I'm pretty
sure that I can sort this out by using {active, true} and using
selective receive, but I'd like to see an example with {active, once}.

Surely that's {active, true}, or am I missing something?

Roger.
