Nothing. I was thinking maybe I should turn up the logging level.

No, I tried with very small files (~300 bytes), small files (50k), and
somewhat larger files (2mb).

Yes.

Good idea, I hadn't thought of that. The output is interesting,
actually:

I like that "sprung into existence" thing. :) Anyway, at that point I
gave up and hit ctrl-C.

Okay, I googled for that sprung into existence bit and found this,
which makes sense:

I didn't even notice but it was incrementing the filename before
saying it sprung into existence.

It's definitely not an issue of file size.
