setsockopt 228K fails with ERR#55 'No buffer space available'

[Steven Hartland]

Thanks dan but I already tried that and it doesn't work but maxsockbuf
does. Really looking for the affects that altering that might have and
if its a good idea. 256k send and receive buffers on a socket seem
very large to me.
