EFS 1.12 bug: Interesting problem with SIZE

Dear bug team:

Not a bug, just a note. While writing a program in python that uses
the FTP protocol directly to talk to a server, I noticed the quote
size operation gives a different size to ls (and is in fact wrong, ls
is right). This is on Irix 5.2, and AIX 3.2.5. Do these machines use a
standard networking base and thus have the same error ? Does this
affect other OSs ?

Thanks,

Adrian
