Some more evidence:

If I do an 'ls -l -a' on the directory within the script itself (after
the file has been closed) I find the file size is wrong. But it is
correct straight after the script completes. So wvPDF is obviously
getting stuck on a truncated Word file (truncated by 2560 bytes).

But there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with these commands:

	thefile=open('aaa123.doc','w')
	thefile.write(str(inputdoc.data))
	thefile.close

I'm using ReiserFS.
