Actually this is not a bug, but a missing documentation item. I assume,
that there are more routines in Nut/OS, where I/O buffers are limited to
32k (not 64k). In most cases this is more than sufficient.

Anyway, without checking all the details, your patch doesn't seem to
hurt and look cleaner to me than drsung's original code.
