RFC 1831 doesn't specify a max size, but we have hard-coded limits
in our source.  The aclnt transport for dhashclient has a buffer
of size 1024*1025 bytes.  The chord RPC servers have a receive buffer of
230000 bytes.

Look for axprt_*::alloc calls, for example axprt_dgram::alloc in
chord/chord_client.C.  You can tweak those if you like.
