Ah, I didn't know where you got the 'maximum 100k' from, but I now
found it in the description earlier up. That's bogus and should be
fixed. The max depends on the system and configuration, and it's
certainly possible (and often desirable or required) to set much larger
sizes.

This just maps to setsockopt/SO_RCVBUF on Linux/*nix, for what it's
worth, so for more information you'll probably want to check the docs
for that.
