Yes, I am sure about this. This is from experience. Funnily enough though,
this stopped happening when we upgraded to 1.5pre6 on FreeBSD from 1.4 on
Debian Linux 2.2.
I wonder if it's anything to do with the way networking works on each of
these platforms. I have always found FreeBSD to kick Debian's rump on the
same hardware in terms of transfer speed.
So, I guess I should have asked what version (of netatalk) "stable" means.
Cheers,
Jason.
