i would say, that the ability to set the buffer to any arbitrary size is
not critical. though, it is really critical, if messages are not sent
completely. 

i cannot think of situations, where one is really dependent on a small
buffersize. whatever works with small buffersize, should work as well
with bigger buffersizes, shouldn't it? however, the reverse of that is
not true. so if you are saying, that every buffersize _above_ a certain
value works fine, then i am really fine with it. the reason, why i was
using small (200 or 1024) buffersizes was wanting to debug the
netpd-server. 

or are you saying that some buffersizes work, others don't, and that it
is completely unrelated to whether they are big or small?
