Yes it is an OS limit. I have been able to partially get this to work as
follows:
@@ -281,6 +281,10 @@ sshbuf_read(int fd, struct sshbuf *buf, size_t maxlen,
size_t *rlen)
if (rlen != NULL)
*rlen = 0;
+#if defined (__TANDEM)
+ if (maxlen > SSIZE_MAX)
+ maxlen = SSIZE_MAX; // About 56Kb from limits.h
+#endif
But I cannot figure out the best way to deal with the writes or the most
acceptable way to the OpenSSH team. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Randall
