Hi Marcus,

It means that there's a bug somewhere.

Indeed JCIFS does not support sending DCERPC requests that require
multiple fragments. But a fragment can be up to something like 64K
and I can't even think of a DCERPC request that would need more than
64K. Requests are usually tiny. It's the responses that are large and
JCIFS does support fragmented responses.

So something fishy is going on. Can you provide more info like a
stacktrace, a log, an example program that replicates the error, a
capture, ... etc?

Mike
