Subject: [netatalk-admins] Netatalk-1.4b2-hurricane & corrupted mp3s and quicktimes

I've been using 1.4b2 Hurricane in my schoolroom lab providing file
services to 32 macs. Things seem to work just fine, except that a
student recently discovered that his mp3s and quicktimes seemed to have
acquired sharp crackling audio distortion and white speckled videio
artifcacts after transferring to/from the Linux box via Netatalk. The
corruption stayed with the file after the transfer.
Clean files transfered to the same box via ftp showed no similar
corruption.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Can anyone help me? I thought it
might be specific to the one box, but tried it on another model and
found the same results.
Could netatalk be misinterpreting quicktime binaries and mp3s for some
sort of text and adding/removing cr/lfs or something...(I'm obviously
shooting in the dark here)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's heartbreaking to find such
a fly in the ointment.
