I had planned to at least temporarily work around this for gr-usrp by
avoiding passing flowgraph data to libusrp2 that would result in these
short fragments.  This wouldn't fix things for low-level libusrp2
users, but it's a small change that would get us by until the real fix
with the new VRT transport work.  Let me know if this is an issue.
