If you use linuxconf or if you look in your /etc/fstab you will
see a line like this
/dev/hda1 /somemt_pt vfat user,exec,...,conv=auto,... 0 0
It is this conv=auto that does it. You can "free" kfm by looking
in windows and its subdirectories and deleting all the little
files called ".directory". conv=auto confuses kfm. PUT
conv=binary explicitly into the /etc/fstab line and all will be
ok.

P.S. If corel or SuSE have the conv=auto, you can duplicate the
error with them by DRAGGING a directory with a non-zero number of
files in it (at least one real text file with more than one line)
from linux to windows.

Remember that if it is done on networks, it may occur on
your host which is a network unto itself.
