All messages are sent with a single call - they are not sent in chunks. (At least at the application level - TCP/IP, of course, can fragment the message.) So I guess as long as its sent all in one swell foop, we may be all right. It's not what I would have built, but you often don't have that luxury. The design is in place and (mostly) working successfully. My inclination is to leave it alone, but since we will eventually be changing compilers, it is very important to know what assumptions are critical to its operation.
