I agree this is most likely a windoze bug, the files were closed when i did
this, and no Eu processes were running. Explorer was open while Eu ran, and
Explorer had the "folder" open where the files were put by Eu. I clicked on
the files, one at a time, and Explorer insisted they were 3.99Gig, even
after asking for the properties on each file separately, and having it
display the "folder"'s file's details.
Explorer does give me file sizes ok while an app is writing the file.
