Oversize status or data/client msg

[Dominique Frise]

Hi,

What is the unit for "n" and "limit" -is it really bytes?- in following messages:

Oversize data/client msg from 1.2.3.4 truncated (n=815596, limit 524288)
Oversize status msg from 1.2.3.5 for smaug:ports truncated (n=370718, limit=262144)

I'm asking this because although we get quite offen messages like above, the 
biggest file stored in the histlogs is only ~75 KB.

[bb at iris data]$ find hist* -size +75000c -exec ls -la {} \;
-rw-r--r--    1 bb       ci          95558 May  9 11:07 ./hist/allevents
-rw-r--r--    1 bb       ci          76828 May  5 11:41 
./histlogs/zeb1/ports/Fri_May_5_11:40:59_2006
