imho this is needed when you check packet size in other patch,
it's network layer decision to split or not packets, so on local
machine no split happens (well, I may be wrong here as I do not
know much about network communication). The other way around
would be to collect packet up to sended size.

There are many places which calls send_to_runner, maybe it would
be better to split it there ?
Or use _log_to_runner instead of send_to_runner ?
Btw a while loop would be better than recursive call.
