subject: Copy II Plus bug??

I was just copying an Applesoft file from a ProDOS disk to a DOS
5.25" disk using Copy II Plus 9.1 and encountered a very peculiar
problem.

The Applesoft program is 7284 bytes long ($1C74), and the DOS copy
has the middle 4096 bytes replaced by a copy of the directory track
(just prior to the length being filled in)!

The VTOC and all the linked directory sectors are there in the middle
of my Applesoft program (actually starting at $1300).

I tried it first on a real Apple //e, with a couple of different DOS
disks, then again on Apple II Oasis, with the same results each time.

It's very strange to encounter an error like this after using Copy II
Plus so many times in the past.

Has anyone else noticed a problem like this?
