Odd file size changes during export

[ericjs]

I was going to say that it does not export all messages, but it is difficult to tell that for sure. Based on using more and tail commands with the file, the dates I see in messages at the top and bottom of the file are years old, so if the file is in date order than this is definitely not all my messages. But I saw another issue posting suggesting that the export may not be in date order.

The oddness I see is in how the file size of the export changes. I can watch the size of the export file grow as the export is in progress...exporting just my SMS messages (and I have years worth of messages), I see the file size climb to over 500MB. But when the export ends (and I do see the message "exporting successful" after a few minutes), the file size drops to 5.9MB. Surely something is not right...
