Our lazy-socket receiver class has an issue with it's internal receive buffer where it can smash heap after a realloc, because right now it's done with an almost raw buffer by calling realloc().
Switching to one of the STL containers for managing memory will be ideal.

Scratch that, its not smashing the heap, it's just leaking memory x)

Note: this was just a memory leak fix, it is not using an STL container internally yet.

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell, turns out that temporary fix results in a segfault in runtime of our driver (which was a real pain to find :L )

So yeah, time to make a proper fix and use an STL container for buffer management instead
