I can't help with your particular question, but is this "few dozen
bytes" potentially related to the number of lines in the file, maybe
with a factor of 1, 2, or 4? This would be a hint that it has to do
with file organization and/or [CR/]LF "translation". It could also
be related to even or odd record sizes (1 byte padding in text files).

I'd do another test with a stream lf file to check as well.

Just a thought...
