Hi!

Which is not true actually because we always send a 100 bytes of data
regardless the message size, which is probably another oversight.

So let's keep the test as it is for now and I will do more work on it
after the release.

To fix this we would have to do at least, but I do not want to change
the test at this point just before the release:
