Yes.  You've hit the arbitrary additional limit on the maximum length of 
a single string that Int32StringReceiver will accept.  When this limit 
is exceeded, the connection is dropped.  If you really want to accept 
7MB strings from your peer, set the MAX_LENGTH attribute of your 
Int32StringReceiver subclass (or instance) to large enough value.  You 
can also get notification when this limit is exceeded by overriding the 
lengthLimitExceeded method (the default implementation of which is what 
drops the connection).
