[ENet-discuss] Not sure what's happening with larger packet

[Tim Stowell]

Just a heads up and answer for others who might run into this. The problem
was I was creating my packet with the ENET_PACKET_FLAG_NO_ALLOCATE flag.
Normally this was fine, but in the case of the large packet ENet had to
split it into 335 pieces, and so while the first 22 or so got sent fine,
after that the pointer I passed into the enet_packet_create call became
invalid (because the memory got destroyed in my calling function) and the
later fragments had invalid memory to write from, which prevented them from
being sent at all. To solve it I just removed the
ENET_PACKET_FLAG_NO_ALLOCATE
