Hmm, that is really strange. Do the files have the same size? Do you
get an error also if you just create file full of zeros? If so, how do
the differences look like (e.g. any signs of flipped bits or so?).

I looked at the file in /home/michael/1GB.tst with xdd for about 5
minutes but couldn't see anything but zeros - I'm not sure how to search
through a binary file for non-zero bytes.
So yes, error if the file is all zeros and they have the same size.
Thanks,
Michael Barnwell.
