Has anyone out there experienced this problem before ?

I've a large sysout on one of my 1108's running Koto.  I want to copy this
sysout onto my floppies.  I do a (FLOPPY.MODE 'SYSOUT) and then 
(COPYFILE '{DSK}SOMELARGE.SYSOUT '{FLOPPY}).

The inteface for COPYFILE says that it needs 7 floppies but in real life it
needs 8 of them.  The way I discovered it is that the 7th floppy took much
longer than the previous 6 floppies and that the process just hung with a
floppy write error displayed on the prompt window.  When I interrupted the
process, it asks for the 8th floppy.

Is there anyway I can bypass this or any patch to fix this ?

Any pointers/info will be much appreciated.
