It does send fixed size messages. Once upon a time, such an implementation
made tons of sense, because it made it possible to get the code out in
the open quickly, and it was a lot easier than doing it with arbitrarily
sized buffers, especially since Nagios didn't (back then) accept plugin
input above 1024 bytes anyways.
Good luck in your endeavours though.
