Ah, indeed. I think in practice it'll be unlikely to happen in practice
except on servers due to receive.unpackLimit, and then it won't be off
by much.

So I think it's best to do something like my WIP patch upthread + the
"snap to 100%" at the end behavior. I'll try to clean that up / test it
/ submit that sometime soon.
