I agree. I have never used jrcomm but have the exact same problem with
VLT and XPRZmodem v2.10.

Once again, I agree.  My problems only appeared once we upgraded to
Ultrix 4.1.

As Phil was trying to point out, it isn't just the version of sz but the
interaction of sz and Ultrix 4.1.  I have been living with it by writing
shell scripts to send the files I want one at a time or writing VLT
scripts to get the ones I want.

However, the problem doesn't show up every time, only about 70% of the
time.  Now that I know there are others out there with problems, I plan
on contacting the systems group and seeing if they know what the heck is
going on.

Maybe we can figure this one out soon.  I miss typing sz *.
