Having problems with large files using smbclient

[Jose Fernando Sanchez]

I am using Samba 2.0.6 and FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE #0

and I am having trouble backing up a file that is 6.82G's

Here is what I seen when I run smbclient:

> smbclient //DUBLIN/PLATBACK
added interface ip=209.208.0.57 bcast=209.208.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

tar: dumped 4 files and directories

First of all when I do an ls, the file sizes come up correctly except for
plat_dump4.DAT
which is in fact 7326722176 bytes long.  

When I try to do a test on the tar file that was created, I get the
following:
