Some more tests.
1. WinSCP direct onto local HD of debian sarge system - no error at all,
100% in 1 try
2. WinSCP onto debian sarge into openafs space - round about 7% of 8 GB
went through, error, retry & resume - most times 100% of file went into
AFS space after x retries - OpenAFS 1.4.2
3. Like point 2, but Debian sid amd64 system, OpenAFS 1.4.4 and it
doesn=B4t resume, restart every retry at 0% - went on forever....

Error messages from trying out no. 3 (same errors like on no.2):
