I don't know. This construction is in since the OpenSSL team took over
from EAY...
I'll add it to the TODO list. If we change this to a dynamic limit,
we could start with 16kB (platform independant) and then applications
may decide at will. 16kB should be sufficient in most cases, because
the construct was broken (see the original report) for quite some time,
so that effectively 16kB was the limit, and the number of complaints was 0.
Let's see, whether more input comes to this topic.
Best regards,
Lutz
