It is very unlikely that termination is to blame for this.  If your 
remote device received a packet, it most definitely received the 
packet it said it did.  One of the neat things about CAN is that it is 
about impossible to have "corruption" as we know it on the physical 
interface.  CAN has many features ensuring reliable reception of 
messages which includes, among other things, a 16bit CRC wrapping each 
message.  One either gets the packet 100% correct or it doesnt get a 
packet at all -- it should be next to impossible for software to 
receive a corrupted packet. The CAN transmitter itself will know if 
the receiver did not receive the message correctly and will 
automatically attempt retries.  This extreme reliability is one of the 
reasons CAN is replacing RS-485 serial in many applications.

I'm not sure what your problem is, but I would think it most likely to 
be in software.  Maybe the Linux CAN framework will always uses 8 byte 
packets?
