Yes, if the goal is to make sure libcurl never passes 16K at once to libssh2
then that's a very handy work-around.

It needs to be a fairly large buffer to minimize the number of loops and
system calls. Then it was adjusted to this particular value one time in the
past when the previous value proved to cause problems on a particular
operating system.

But it then goes back to the fact that libssh2 is supposed to grok this big
buffers being sent to it, so it not doing so is a libssh2 bug. Don't you agree
with that?
