Yes. The both is the trick. I missed the second one, as I'm accustomed to
glibc. We should at least deal gracefully with the condition, as it as well
applies to binary distributions, that have been compiled on a machine with
SG_BIG_BUFF unmodified and that run on one with a modified BIG_BUFF.

Interesting. Full 128k work for me as well and the sg-docs say that's what
it should be.

I'll take care for a graceful handling of the condition as well as support
for the new sg driver in 2.2.6 and up.
