xStreamBufferSend() caps the maximum amount of data a stream buffer can send to the maximum capacity of the buffer - however the value to which the length is capped was wrong, and is correct by this check in. Likewise when sending to a message buffer if the send length is too long the block time is set to 0 to ensure the sending task does not wait indefinitely for the impossible send to complete - but the length check was wrong, and is corrected by this check in.
