 the function msg_receive, fd is a socket connected to a remote
Internet client. What is wrong with msg_receive? Suggest a fix.
   #define MAXVALS 65536


   typedef struct _msg_t {
     unsigned int num;
     unsigned int values[MAXVALS];
   } msg_t;


   int msg_receive (int fd, msg_t *m)
   {
     size_t sz = sizeof (unsigned int);
     assert (m);
     if (read (fd, (void *)&m->num, sz) < sz)
        return -1;
     return read (fd, (void *)&m->values, sz * m->num); 
   }
