It  is  a  known  bug  (it actually never worked for me...), and I
think  it  has  been  reported  several times too. (Anyway, please
report  it  to  feedback  again;  maybe  this  way  it gets better
attention. :) We're all waiting for a fix...

To work around, you need to do something like:

   port: open/direct %file
   ; skip 1000 bytes
   copy/part port 1000
   ; etc.

The  drawback is that you're actually reading from the file (which
is of course MUCH slower than just skipping...).

Regards,
   Gabriele.
