[rds-devel] RDS issue

[Andy Grover]

Hi Karun,

There is a message size limit of 1MB, but this is not enforced in the
code. This is bad and should be fixed, but your 16MB issue thus is not
an RDS bug :)

It's kind of curious that 16MB fails... could this be an IB limitation,
I wonder?

Regards -- Andy
