I have a "hack" that makes it do it. It's how I tested it worked :-).

Change the line :

static int io_bufsize = 64512;

in client/client.c to something like :

static int io_bufsize = 0xFFFF00;

and then on the command line type :

posix 

then :

get bigfile

It'll use 0xFFFF00 sized reads then.
