    Don't let randpkt write packets libwiretap can't read.
    
    Wiretap imposes an arbitrary limit on the maximum packet size, to
    prevent it from trying to allocate a huge packet buffer and possibly
    running out of address space on ILP32 platforms or just eating too much
    backing store on LP64/LLP64 platforms.  Don't write packets with a
    length greater than that limit.
