Zero size buffers are not expected to appear in the output chain
except due to some bug, and if they do appear - it's considered to
be a fatal error and results in a connection close.

Normally you should not add empty buffers to the output chain. If
there are some good reasons why you need to add an empty buffer -
you have to mark the buffer as special, e.g., by setting the
b->sync flag as Jeff Kaufman already suggested.
