I've also run into the problem using a Interlan 1010A card in a 4.3 BSD
VAX 11/780 with Van's TCP fixes.  Transfers kept coming up one byte short
in transferring the X.V11R2 split files from expo.lcs.mit.edu to
uxc.cso.uiuc.edu.  It was not a constant problem.  Retrying the transfer
would usually get the complete file.  One file did require six attempts
before a 512,000 copy was obtained rather than 511,999.  A cmp of the
two files showed the difference to be at the very end of the file.
