Is this really a problem with NT?  If so, what are the symptons?  Does the
rename fail or does it work, but the file not have all the records?  With
Unix, it doesn't matter if the buffers are on disk or not (unless the system
crashes).  The file system treats the records in the buffer as part of the
file anyway.  The records are all there, logically, as soon as FTP closes
the file.

I'd be surprised if this was really a problem with NT, except perhaps very
early versions of NT.
