This bites enough people that it may be worth correcting, or at least
changing the behavior when it happens.

AJP already encodes the packet-size in the header of each packet. Why
not simply compare that to the MaxPacketSize on the Tomcat side and
issue a useful error message instead of whatever is currently happening?

Andreas, what error message(s) do you see in the log(s) on the Tomcat
side when this happens?

Or maybe even auto-size the buffer on the Tomcat side to be nice about i
t?

Oddly enough, the AJP documentation[1] says that the practical limit
of the packet size is 8k, though I and probably many others have
happily been using higher values for quite some time.
