Hi Florix,
Sorry about the slow reply, I've been swamped with work lately.

Ah, SuSE uses the new driver. There are lots of BUG lines in the code.
Some are things that aren't implemented yet and others are things that
we don't think should be happening.
If this is happening to a file that you need, the simple solution is to
uncompress the file. The only files we've seen with misleading sizes
have been Windows system files and you probably don't need them in
Linux.
If you have the time (and the bandwidth), please could you mount the
filesystem (/dev/hda13, is that right?) with the option
"-o show_sys_files=true", then copy the file "$MFT", compress it and
email it to me (or upload it somewhere I can read it). I can't promise
anything, but I'll try and figure out what's going wrong.

This isn't really a problem. You have a filename which a character
that can't be translated into iso8859-1 (Western European). If this
is a problem, then mount with "-o nls=utf8".
Thanks for the bug report.
