I don't think so. The concern is PAGE_SIZE is to big for a message, so lets
pick something else
to truncate the message size on, the suggesting was PATH_MAX which makes
sense
and works in this case.

The patch I have on top of what I submitted so far is to pick PAGE_SIZE or
PATH_MAX, whichever is
smaller.
