It appears on our server that non-Mac-created files that both are and are
_not_ mapped to Mac file types are affected. It does seem true that
Mac-created files do not have the prob.
i think i might have an idea of what's happening here. could people
having this problem do the following:
1) find a file which likes to jump around a lot.
2) edit .AppleDouble/file and tell me if it has TEXTUNIX in it.
3) if it does, edit that to the reflect the actual type/creator for
that file (e.g., JPEGJVWR for jpeg files). you'll need an editor
which can deal w/ binary data.
4) tell me if the jumping around for that file still occurs.
basically, i think there's a little war going on because netatalk is
sending os8 conflictory information on what the type/creator fields
should be. ugh.
