| (the primary reason is that some client, under some circunstances, issue
| SIZE comands in ascii mode, which on iso image takes a while to complete.
| The client time out, reconnects and redo a SIZE. After some hours there

| the size after NL/CR-NL translation).
The server is allowed to just say "sorry, that file is too big" if it
sees a file that is huge, and computing the SIZE result would take too
long (though having the server reject attempts to do bogus transfers
also sounds like a good idea, provided the test of "bogus" is reliable
enough).
