Yeah, the total-size value on the daemon side can be inaccurate when it
is receiving files and a delete operation happens.  This is because the
current code updates the total size in the make_file() routine, and this
is called on both the sending side (when sending the file list), and on
the receiving side (when creating delete lists) -- this is in addition
to the count that the receiver updates when it is receiving the file
list.  The client never encounters this problem because it always
receives the sender's total-size count, overriding any inaccuracy that
arose.

I'm going to check-in a change that moves the maintenance of the
total-size count so that this won't happen.

Thanks for the report!
