NSCA (latest svn) bus error with extremely large messages

[Mike Lindsey]

I'm running the current svn NSCA.  We take advantage of long plugin 
output, to provide some extensive diagnostic data.  Unfortunately some 
of our VMware monitoring is, on occasion, outputting excessively large 
messages which trigger a bus error.

Anything up to 4k for plugin output gets sent fine.  From 4k to a little 
over 10k it seems to consistently truncate properly.  From 10k to around 
20k, intermittent runs will result in a bus error.  Anything about that 
and they all seem to fail.

I've recompiled with debugging symbols, but haven't had much luck so far 
in tracking down the bug.  Unfortunately, this is one of those weeks 
where I've got eight different projects pulling me in 12 different 
directions, and can't really spend a lot of time tracking down bugs.  If 
you've got a good test harness and don't mind throwing a few giant 
messages through it, I'd love any pointers as to a possible fix.
