Subject: [640] Problem with on-the-fly compression

My ftp server (wu-ftpd 2.2) works fine in every respect except that
trying to retrieve a directory using the dynamic compression facility
gives me the following error message:

	426 Data connection: Invalid argument.

This happens with any transfers that try to tar more than 7 or 8
files. 

It seems that compression of large amounts of data always fails while
compression of smaller amounts works fine. Has anyone else encountered
this and in particular, does anyone know how to fix it?

I am using Linux 1.0. Any help appreciated.
