My first response was vague.  Now that I've reviewed code I'll try again...

I saw the same "packet drop" with an overlong WRITE_ANDX.  The maximum
buffer size an NT SP6 claims on the NEGOTIATE respone is 0x1104 (4356).
This limit is not on the data, the limit includes the SMB header (32 bytes)
and the SMB command.  Based upon the size of an ECHO command I'd expect you
could send 4319 bytes, not 4323, so on this topic you'll have to have the
last word... sorry.
