I guess that's true in principle, but what if request_frame() still is 
called (for some unknown reason, haven't checked through the rest of the 
framework to see if there's something stopping this from happening) after 
the first call which returned EOF?

I'd say this is a small cost for extra robustness in the individual filter 
(if the checks are removed and request_frame() is called multiple times, 
it would start leaking memory and invalidating assertions in start_frame() 
and whatnot), but if you still think it is unnecessary, I'll remove it.
