Actually that is not working as expected. The old client should *always*
be able to talk to a new server. If the new server is unconditionally
sending back data that is too large for the client, this is a bug.
True, however I don't see how to fix it for past versions,
specifically we can't go back to the small buffers again.
For a proper solution client and server would need to advertise their
respective maximum buffer sizes (or know it by the version number)
and restrict themselves to using the lower number.
