Hmm. -65537 is 0xFFFEFFFF - all bits but one set.
Looking at internal_transport_write_message am a little concerned at
nested variables called "size" declared as int at line 930
and unsigned long at line 1138.
The inner block is controlled by
     if (!(tctx->options & topt_no_body))
*If* this block is active, I am also concerned about the read which 
is passed and returns "len" which is an int, but read takes and returns a
ssize_t which is likely bigger than an int.
