With the added note that the send/recv spaces should be 65535 * 2^x 
(which 1024000 isn't). I might add that there's still a bug in the 
calculation of the TCP window scale option with regards to the set 
window size, leading to a FreeBSD system advertising a too large 
recvspace, which makes setting this option right even more necessary.
