An update, though I don't know if anyone is listening  :-)

I found that for my 50 GB+ files, udp-receiver also delivers the wrong
number of bytes to its --pipe, thus on the sending side, something like
this:

udp-sender --file file1

On the receiving side:

udp-receiver --pipe "tee file2" >/dev/null

Results in file2 having a different length than file1.

Both are around 52GB in this particular test.

Perhaps there is a clue to the problem in there somewhere.
