Oops, sorry.

Noted, thanks.

For most of the test cases, I used the fastrpc lib:
https://github.com/quic/fastrpc

This library is taking care of passing proper shell size which is within the boundary for
all the platform that I've tried.
I'll try creating and running some regression tests for this change.
