This problem may be more serious than I previously thought. Moments ago
I moved a 254MB file from my desktop computer to a network drive, and it
seemed to transfer instantaneously. The file was deleted on my computer
and when I looked at the network drive the file name was there, but the
content was 0 bytes. The file was lost and the work to create it will
have to be redone from scratch. Now it appears I can no longer trust
moving files and will need to copy them and verify they are identical on
both the source and the destination before manually deleting the source.

Is there a Linux distribution unaffected by this bug? If it is not going
to be fixed I'm willing to change to another OS as I can't work without
confidence that my files are secure when I move them to a permanent
storage for others to access.
