One of my clients has the same problem: retrieve of a compressed
archive file (537 MB at client side, 277 MB at server side) crashes
after the transmission of 28.8 MB from server to client. And it does
not only happen with the AIX client, he reproduced it with SGI and
Solaris, too. Server ist AIX 2.1.0.12; cllients are at level 2.1.0.6
and 2.1.0.5.

Is there a fix for it? Is it "ptfI.instbin" at the adsm ftp site for
the aix platform?
