Not if you look at IMS messages. ;)
Yeah, I don't know why it's 32KB by default, but it is.  Probably some random 
number generator.  Or a trade-off between "protect weak boxes" and 
"make-it-workie".  Regardless, without a BCP there was nothing to go by. (not 
that I'm saying a BCP would make us change behavior, but we try to be good)
