I've been having trouble with this on a machine running the native build of XEmacs (from the current CVS trunk) on Windows NT 4.0 using the cygwin ftp client. When I try to open a file on an FTP server (I've tried several and it doesn't seem to matter which server) the file is truncated at a random location a few thousand bytes into the file. If you look at the ftp log everything seems to be ok, but efs doesn't seem to wait for the file to be transfered before using the result. I've tried to debug this a bit, but haven't learned very much. Has anyone else seen problems like this?

I'm connected via an ISDN line so ftp transfers are not too fast. This might have something to do with it. I'll try it on other machines with faster net connections and see if that affects things. If I can provide any more information let me know.
