>Description:
How to transfer a 3.8gig file from a distant Windows
computer to a FreeBSD machine?

I have a (fairly important) file sent me on a Windows-formatted
hard disk.  When I 'mount_msdos /dev/wd3s1' and then try
to 'cp /mnt/BigFile.avi /usr/tmp', I end up with a 0-byte
file in /usr/tmp.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Note: if some knowledgable soul can give me pointers
to likely culprits in the msdosfs code, I'd happily
experiment.  This is a very important file, and I
need to access it very soon.
