Yes. I can confirm that this bug is exactly as Björn stated. If '-C -' is
used on the command line, 'resume_from' is set to 0 and 'use_resume' is set
to TRUE. (around line 760 in src/main.c)

The loop then sets the 'resume_from' field to whatever the local file size is
but only if it is zero. Thus, the second lap in the loop it is already set to
a non-zero value and will thus leave it at its previously set value.

This is a bug that probably has lived in there for a while. Try the attached
patch to reach a state of joy and happiness! ;-)

(I committed this fix to CVS already, as I truly believe it works.)
