Actually, it occured to me this weekend that the problem may be a little
more subtle.  Telnet writes out files by using FSWrite--I remember a
discussion a while back about FSWrite, where someone claimed that FSWrite
just calls PBWrite 512 bytes at a time.  I haven't gotten around to
changing the code to just call PBWrite directly, but this might make the
file system a lot happier...
