It seems that it's the value of KERN_IOV_MAX from sys/sysctl.h.

I doubt that Linux is really enforces this limit, because if it
does, then the ORBit would be broken there as well. BTW, could you
please do me a favor and run the following program on your Linux
box and send me its output? It tests and reports real value of the
limit.
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/uio.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int fd, i;
static struct iovec iovecs[16385];
if ((fd = open("/dev/null", O_WRONLY)) < 0)
exit(1);
for (i = 1; i < 16386 && writev(fd, iovecs, i) >= 0; i++);
printf("%d\n", i - 1);
close(fd);
exit(0);
}
