Okay. So does this look better?

+
+ /* RFC4253 section 6.1 Maximum Packet Length says:
+
+ "All implementations MUST be able to process
packets with
+ uncompressed payload length of 32768 bytes or
less and
+ total packet size of 35000 bytes or less
(including length,
+ padding length, payload, padding, and MAC.)."
+
+ */
+ if(packet_length > THE_DANIEL_STENBERG_CONSTANT) {
+ return -1;
+ }
+

Maybe that name needs a little work.

Maybe MAX_SSH_PACKET_LEN would be better.
