I can't see why you used a count of 10000.  Isn't the whole problem
supposed to be because it doesn't produce a whole line at a time?  So
after requesting a measurement, if you know the size, use that in the
read() method.  And if you don't know the size, read it one byte at a
time till it make sense.
