I dont know the code, but as a C programmer from Way back, if I was
debugging it, I would be suspiciously looking for a signed int
declarator in the source, that might somehow still be just living
in a 16 bit segment world. Which suspicion you might check, if not
a programmer, by seeing if messages a little less than 2^15 get
through ie 32767 (allow a bit less for header & footer too perhaps ?

Or maybe its a simple answer eg some other variable name needed ?
