Sorry that I sent before 1 MB to all! Some distraction, and then you  
just press the send button while still recovering ...


I used a smaller file, 16 K, gzip'ed and copied it: the same error.  
One byte, gzip'ed to 24 bytes, could be transferred OK. Almost 1 K  
text (a shell script) still OK.

Beyond 10 K it gets interesting. Creating the files with split and  
either gzip'ing from dired or from command line (actually the second  
chunk) I can view them in remote dired buffer OK. The local copies  
are unusable: start at "point=11965 of 12288 (97%)" the contents is  
false.

So I made a final test: split file -b 11964, gzip'ed, and copied: all  
OK! So we know the magic border ...
