Thanks.

Public FTP ? Well, I got the bug several times with at least 3 different files, thus, it seems not to be specific to one "guilty" file - so no point to send a 200 MiB file, any file providing sufficient size probably would do The action was always 7-un-ZIP'ping, the size 150 .. 350 MiB, compressibility bad (cca 1.5 ... 0.99 (!!!) times), 7-ZIP 4.42 running on HX (not only HDPMI32), HIMEMX present (indeed for no reason, and not involved except HDPMI32 cooperation), at least 2 different partitions (one of them 7 GiB FAT32, other=??? (no longer know safely)) - given that, the reproductability is unfortunately occasional, not always ... seems to depend from fragmentation / last OS access / ??? . Last time I tried to isolate out HIMEMX, but the bug didn't occur even with it ... maybe more luck next time
