There is a limitation on the size of a single read over VT due to
protocol/implementation restrictions, and a limit on serial size due to
QEDIT. I'd expect buffer size limitations in both cases. I used to have a
slip of paper with the numbers written on them on my desk, but it's lost
now. I got them from Robelle (and they may have updates, anyway). There may
also have been a change in 'streams mode' vs 'message mode' VT.
