Just for the record, there is no such absolute 8 message
limit; the number "8" quoted by ealier postings denote the
minimum limit of outstanding unread data blocks.  The
actual limit is calculated by SO_SNDBUF/16KB; applications
that set their SO_SNDBUF to a large value will therefore
obtain a higher limit than 8.  There's nothing magic about
16KB; it was determined to yield reasonable performance
based on numerous testings that we did in the past.  For
what it's worth, more details can be found here:
