[Samba] 2gb limit & weird filenames

For the record, stock RedHat 7.3 kernel (2.4.18-18.7.x) supports files
greater than 2GB.

Rather than debating the point as to whether various things
theoretically support > 2GB files or not, it's rather easy to
empirically determine support using dd to create a file greater than
2GB.

Just my $.02 and all.

Cheers,
Waider.
