Syslinux - Oct 2008 - tftp behaves erroneously on "File not found"

Hello,

Looks like tftp-hpa handles missing files somewhat incorrectly. When it 
receives the error 1 (File not found), it sends back an acknowledgement for 
block #1 and creates an empty file. Protocol says errors terminate the 
connection.

I can't try other errors, as I can't cause them; but they may cause the
same
behaviour.

What operation is this?  Server or client?

Client. E.g.:

$ tftp 192.168.27.1
tftp> get nonexistent
Error code 1: File not found
tftp> quit
$ ls -l nonexistent
-rw-rw-r-- 1 rdonch rdonch 0 ???  8 19:45 nonexistent

Also, my messages don't appear to show up in the list archive. Hm?
