I cannot find the glibc source from prior to 1.06.4 of 1993 (which is 
before the Linux libc fork). I looked at some glibc diffs to create 1.01 
(1992) and newer versions but don't see it changing.

I assume the 108 is there since late 1980's and I believe the 108 
there was a copy from the BSD length prior to it being changed in CSRG 
BSD to 104:

mbufs are smaller now, so this must be too.
