This is a bit strange.  This is on 1.5/i386.

First, I create a file:

% dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=1k count=100
100+0 records in
100+0 records out
102400 bytes transferred in 1 secs (102400 bytes/sec)
%

Now, I use my girlfriend's Windows Me box to retrieve and put the file:

ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp> get test
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'test' (102400 bytes).
##################################################
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 102400 bytes received in 3.46Seconds 29.60Kbytes/sec.
ftp> put test test2
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'test2'.
##################################################
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 102400 bytes sent in 0.17Seconds 602.35Kbytes/sec.
ftp>

Okay, now let's take a look at the local files again.  test and test2
should be identical, right?

% diff test test2
Binary files test and test2 differ
% sum test
0 100 test
% sum test2
33304 100 test2
%

Ummmm... hmmmm...  There is some garbage at the beginning of the new file.

% head test
% head test2
jI%

Strange, no?  Is this NetBSD or Windows Me?  Going locally doesn't seem to
reproduce the problem, so I'd say it was Windows Me....

Anyone seen this before?
