[fa.info-mac] macput problems

Has anyone else been having troubles downloading ABSpeak.rsrc using
macput? After humming for a substantial amount of time, I get a Bad I/O
status 1 in getfork(resfork. This happens regardless of the amount of
free space on the disk, which version of macput I am using, which of
several versions of MacTerminal I try, using a network or a direct
connection to Unix. If I use an external disk drive, I get a "Bad Info"
message. Other programs seem to transfer correctly. All ideas will be
entertained.

I think there is a subtle bug in the protocol used by macput that does not
like blocks of FF (hex) bytes.  This
is because (according to the meter) it
seems to fail at a point in a file containing a large (>255 chars) block of
these.  (Anybody else notice this?)
