Hi Guys,
	Earlier today I was attempting to transfer some files via FTP 
from a local machine attached via ethernet to my Linux box and came 
across a little glitch. Basically I'm receiving a 426 Data Connection: 
Broken pipe response to the transfer and the file is truncated to 65439 
bytes!!!!!!!.
	
	 Also in recent months I've noticed a broken pipe message when I've
been un-taring compressed archives with 'tar xvfz...' is this a related
problem and an anybody shed some light as to what might be causing it? 

	However if I do an FTP from the console of a file in my home 
directory all is fine, so something is definately a little fishy.

	The machine I'm connecting from is running Windows for Workgroups,
using the Microsoft tcp stack and FTP client, the session log is below. 

Additional info:-

	Latest kernel (1.2.8) 
	Everything else from Slackware 2.0.1 (CDROM free with Oct 94, PCPLUS)
