i did some test sending a file (over localhost). the limit seems to be at 65536. my test file is 49474 but i usually received 2 packets, rarely one single packet with 49474 bytes, sometimes even 3 packets.
i guess this behaves the same for normal send messages (not whole files) it could be a real problem since we can't really tell if a bundle is complete.
65536 is the largest packet you can send with tcp or udp because the size field in the IP header is 16 bits wide. I think if you need to send that much in a packet you need to think of another way to do it, for instance send the entire file via ftp.
