Yup, I was wondering about the same thing.  I actually would go
stronger than "does not need to be", as the byte after these four
would never be taken as "the terminator for the linelen bytes", even
it happens to be '\0'.

Just getting rid of the extra sentence would suffice for that, I
think.  The first sentence makes it clear that it is about
interpreting the 4 bytes we are given, and those 4 bytes come from
the 'packet line length header' the caller has.
