/me hands you some \n characters...

Ok, will fix up.

So what should we do here?  We can't keep going as the size is
incorrect.

It is?  Ok, if that's all that is needed, that's fine with me.  I was
just taking the patch from the original submitter, I don't understand
the bluetooth protocol at all :)
