I've seen databases do this to fill fields with null data, when the field is requested and is configured for a fixed length of 10KB, you'll get however much useful data, with the rest padded up to the 10KB mark.

Sorry; Forgot the packet scan

  Maybe this group can add some insight to what is 
  happening with this NetWare server
   
  It seems that when a PC makes the connection 
  to the server and request a file. The file is sent to the workstation, 
  but the packet scans show the data segment is padded with 0's. The 
  packets are full size 1460 bytes and sent multiple packet before the ACK. It 
  appears that we run through this cycle of requesting the file and getting 0 
  data. If we stop the PC or disable the switch port, the problem seems 
  to move to another PC.  Have not been able to define any patterns on 
  PC or network segments
   
  Can anyone perhaps after reviewing the scan 
  section see anything that we could use to isolate the problem or at least be 
  able to identify the issues to the vendor.
   
  Thanks
  Dan
