AFAICS the uses of 8192 in fe-misc.c have no relationship to
PQ_BUFFER_SIZE or indeed much of anything. They are just arbitrary
amounts by which to increase the I/O buffer size.
Of course they are not *completely* arbitrary --- they are essentially
guesses about the buffering behavior of the kernel and TCP stack.
But they have nothing to do with the server-side PQ_BUFFER_SIZE.

In future please submit proposed changes as "diff -c" patches.
A complete file is useless because it cannot be applied without
risking overwriting other people's changes.
