>Description:
The variable type of 'tu_block' in '/usr/include/arpa/tftp.h' in the 
struct 'tftphdr' is of type short, but should by of type 
'unsigned short' cause a short limits the total block size to 16MB and
in the tftp specification 32MB are mentioned if I remember right.

(This Problem was found by Dirk Nehring)
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Change 'short tu_block' in /usr/include/arpa/tftp.h to 'unsigned shor' 
or a similar defined type!
