[Unison-hackers] xferbycopying problem

[Benjamin Pierce]

I don't think I've seen this one -- if you can get it to happen again  
(better yet, repeatably) and capture a '-debug all' trace, that would  
be great.

One point to think about in tracking it down is that the Not_found  
exception is trapped by convertUnixErrorsToTransient, which in turn  
is used to wrap (almost, apparently) every bit of code that might  
fail in any systemsy way.  The fact that it escapes to the top level  
indicates *two* coding errors.
