Jelly-Bean used to be able to toss messages well past the 64k segment limit
(Ezycom has a doubleword/long for the message size, so that's 2Gb) but the
newer version doesn't, as the tossing engine is coded in pure ASM and
processes the entire message "in memory". When I learn more about
protected mode the /386 version will probably jump to PM to process the
message, so it will be limited to a larger size; perhaps 256k or 512k.

I haven't looked at Tobruk as I don't know shit about C, let alone C++.
