Subject: Set the socket send and receive buffers to maximum.  At least this way,
X-Git-Tag: 1.0.0pre1~3

Set the socket send and receive buffers to maximum.  At least this way,
we won't drop large packets on the floor.  If the administrator wants to
prevent fragmentation of TrIPE messages, he can lower the MTU on the
tunnel interface.  Getting path-MTU stuff out of the kernel is too much
system-specific hard work for this program.
