Subject:   ftp from mounted ntfs partition to other machine results in corrupted data

hello,

I have a FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE (now 4.5-PRERELEASE) (i386) installation, 
dualbooting with windows.
There's an NTFS partition, and it's mounted in FreeBSD.  Reading files
from it works allright (I can run exe's using wine).  But the strange thing
is: when logging in to the machine via ftp and requesting a file from
the ntfs partition, i get a file of the same size but the contents are
messed up.  The received file seems to be a mixture of data from the
original file and other files from the ntfs partition. 

FTP'ing from a UFS partition works okay, so I can transfer the files by
first copying them there and then doing the FTP transfer.
scp works okay.

My guess is that the ftp daemon tries to do some caching on the file which
doesn't work with ntfs filesystem ...

Anyone got a clue?

greets
