You can just crank up MAX_DGRAM to 65535 in common-src/dgram.h and rebuild
both your client and server. Or you could upgrade both to 2.4.2p2.
And if you get there, I can (re)send you the patch that works around
this problem completely.

The first is a request for a level 0 (full) estimate, and the second
is for a level 1. So they are not duplicates, and both are required.
They could probably be abbreviated (level 0 always uses that same 1970
date, and the exclude list only needs to show up once), but that will
require a protocol change (i.e. both client and server will have to know
what the other is doing).
