IMO, "QTBuffer" is the packet, and "size" is an argument.  I hope the
right response to QTBuffer:size:ffffffff is an empty reply, means remote
stubs don't support QTBuffer:size.  Reply "E01" means remote stub
supports QTBuffer:size, but unable to meet this request, due to some
reasons, limited memory, for example.
