I don't know if it's related, but we've had problems with the LARGE_*X
commands on some versions of Windows, and currently have the capability
bits disabled in our mainframe CIFS server and client unless we're
talking to a known well-behaved system (e.g., one of our own).  I
remember things like the Windows client only half-implementing the
LARGE_*X protocol, and trying to put a byte count of 65536 into a 16-bit
field.
