An employee here at CMU is generating compressed MacPaint documents on a UNIX
system and downloading them to a Mac for display. Downloading a compressed
file works correctly. MacPaint displays the file properly and there are no
errors in it. The file was then uploaded to the UNIX machine. At some stage
of the upload, all 0d's were changed into 0a's. This happened in every
occurance.

We tested this with Stanford's and NCSA's FTP and tried going to three
different UNIX machines. In all cases, the 0d's went to 0a's on the upload. I
am at a loss to determine just where this bit flip is occuring. Could it be
in the Kinetics gateway, running the latest KIP?

*Any* ideas at all would be appreciated, as would any other suggestions for
tests that we might run.
