I had one user who had horrible problems restoring files on his NT
server.

It turns out that the files were originally on an NTFS volume and he
was trying to restore them to a FAT volume.  The symptoms were fairly
similar: restore part or most of a file and then die with a GPF.

The filenames below look very much like AIX/UNIX paths, however.
