I was wondering why you didn't see the same problem.  I now have a
possible explanation.  smtpmail.el's smtpmail-via-smtp calls
process-send-string per message line repetitively therefore the size
of data passed to pfn_send is limited to the maximum line length no
matter how large the message is as a whole.  On the other hand, Mew
uses process-send-region and pushes maximum of 1000 byes out to
pfn_sned at a time.  This difference might be revealing sys_write's
following feature differently.
