On VMS, syswrite() returns undef if one tries to write more than 65535 bytes
on a socket.
This can cause problems for other modules, so how about forcing the call to
write a maximum of 65535 bytes? [The caller should always be prepared to
handle a shorter write, so this should not break any code.]
It seems to me that undef should be reserved for more "serious" errors.
Anyone agree/disagree/other solutions?
[This problem showed up on VMS 7.2-1 with UCX 5.0A. I have not tried any
other combinations.]
