Comment (by warner):

 Note that a likely symptom of this bug (if the upload fails, perhaps
 because you do not have enough servers to meet the "shares of happiness"
 threshold), is that you wind up with zero-length files in your sshfs
 directory listing, which cannot be downloaded. I don't think these are
 tahoe-size entries: the SFTP frontend would report a 0-length file briefly
 (if you list the directory while uploading), but maybe sshfs frontends are
 caching the result and persisting in showing you a 0-length file even
 after tahoe has given up.
