This means that if you want to update only those files that changed
since last time, you can't do it because the server won't tell you a
file's modification time. Wasn't this the whole point of your project?
Can you get a better ftp server for the far end?

So there is a number at which it begins to fail, but below which it does not
fail? I wonder what the number is. Maybe a power of two (perhaps plus or
minus one)? 4095, 4096, 4097, 8191, 8192, 8193? You've already increased
Kermit's stringspace, does increasing it more make a difference?

Well these are all messages from the server. Do you have the messages
that Kermit sent to the server at this point? That would pin down the
culprit.
