I don't about either of the above, but the corruption does not appear at
the same place every time.  So, I think that the problem is a race or
timeout -- not something as simple as an overflow.

I forgot to mention the following data points in my previous post:

    1. vsftpd thinks that it transferred the correct number of bytes as
       indicated by its log file.
    2. proftpd does not exhibit this problem
