Wireshark should have all the information you need. It probably won't 
call this issue out as an error though. Ditto for the tracer.

Given that you can reproduce the problem easily, you may just want to 
log some details of all the frames - frame type, class id, method id, 
and for content headers the expected body size, and for content bodies 
the payload size.

No. Well, technically yes, but you are much better off just modifying 
the code in rabbit_command_assembler.
