EFS 1.6 bug: Can't copy multiple files in dired

Fellow efs'ers:

In this ftp session, I marked two files in dired (MIRROR_SITE_INFO
and README), and proceeded to copy them with the "C" dired command
to my local machine.  The first file apparently copied ok, but efs
reported the error "Weird timezone" afterwards and the copying stopped
(the second file is not copied).

The same steps that I've described here works fine with ange-ftp (both
files were copied).
