"WinXP" meaning the "dir" command in Windows.

Interesting. That's an idea, ain't it. The weirdness is that after I rebooted, the file sizes came out "normal". The file being tested was just a simple text file generated in Komodo on an Ubuntu box and stored via SMB on the Windows XP box. I doubt what happened is as you describe, but that's something else I will test for if it ever happens again. Thanks for that input.
