Ah - Andrew was right, it looks like they're using the
full 17 bits of the NetBIOS packet length, not 16 bits
as I assumed....

I think we can fix this by upping the buffer size to
128k from 64k, as this packet is 64k + 60 bytes. My
guess is they're trying to do a full 64k write here.
(write_len is probably 0xFFFF). 

A packet trace or debug level 10 would help fix this
very quickly...

Thanks,
