I cannot find the glibc source from prior to 1.06.4 of 1993 (which is before the Linux libc fork). I looked at some glibc diffs to create 1.01 (1992) and newer versions but don't see it changing. I assume the 108 is there since late 1980's and I believe the 108 there was a copy from the BSD length prior to it being changed in CSRG BSD to 104: D 7.5 89/12/15 14:27:46 karels 11 10 00001/00001/00030 MRs: COMMENTS: mbufs are smaller now, so this must be too.
