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.
