Thanks in part to a Twisted issue (http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2851), the puller's handling of malformed netstrings doesn't actually work, as seen in https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=OOPS-1219SMPM3.
It's a bit hard to see what to do about this, apart from fixing Twisted.
One possible cause of this issue are 'mirrorFailed' messages with extremely long (> 100k) explanations.
