Prevent (negative) overflow of rm->remaining_len. This evaluation really only has two possible outcomes: either len and rm->remaining_len are the same, in which case we care about the outcome and it is zero, or rm->remaining_len is currently not in use and we don't care about the outcome. In that case, len is positive and rm->remaining_len is zero, which leads to a negative result. This is confusing and could eventually lead to a sign-flip if we skip a lot of packets (unlikely, but still). Therefore, just always set it to zero.
