[Samba] smbclient returns incorrect file size for large files

[Jimmy Roe]

Using the SAMBA_2_2 source from CVS has changed things but it has not corrected the problem.

Using smbclient to obtain a directory listing now shows the size of a 8,522,525,696 byte file as 4227558400. When creating a tar archive of the share, the warning message is now:

File size change - truncating FILE to -67408896 bytes

Can you try the latest CVS for SAMBA_2_2? There were some fixes
checked in recently to address this. Let me know if you have
problems with that version.

This is not the size of the file according to the Windows GUI which gives 8,849,125,376 bytes (8.24 GB) as the file size.
