Your analysis of the communication behavior is perfectly fine.

I assume that your message buffer when sending a message to the server
is corrupt, so that it contains a "0x4" as first word within the
message. Although it is not impossible that we've a general bug in the
base-foc code, we didn't observed such behavior in the past, though we
test it heavily regularly. Therefore I think you've a memory corruption
problem within your client, or did you also touched other code (e.g.:
something in the parent tree of your client). Where is your connection
initiated, within the BSS segment, heap, or stack?

Maybe you can provide some code snippet that helps to reproduce the problem?
