Of cause, it is'nt an Etch problem, but this problem comes with an 
Upgrade to Etch from Suse 9.0.

But: It isn't a problem of the file system permission.
1. the file systems owner/user/chmod are correct.
2. this problem occurs only sometimes.

If I open the the file again and again, after two to 5 times it works, 
but then I have to check, if the complete(!) file is read, cause, 
sometimes not the whole file will be read, only the half or more 
without any notice.

The complete problem disappears, if I start a new emacs an read the 
desired file.

This only happens while reading the files with the ftp client in emacs.

Thanks...
