It definitely effected all files over a certain size, and only going one
way, IE ADFS to UNIXFS is fine, but not UNIXFS to ADFS, I think it was fixed
as some point, was a right pain when I found this out (I'd copied all the
tgz files from Riscbsd to adfs as a backup)  Try checking the mailing list
archives from about 2yrs ago (July 1996-June 97)
