I have got exactly the same problem here. One specific Win98-client can't
copy large files. Other Machines (1*Win95, 1*Win98, 3*linux/smbclient)
don't have this problem.

I am still using Samba V2.0.1, tried to install a Suse-V2.0.2-rpm, but
it still reports to be V2.0.1, so I hope that this is not the reason for
the problem.

Tschau,
