[Samba] 2 GB file limit

[Iain Morrison]

Dear samba users,
   we are having problems copying files greater that 2Gb from PCs [Win 
2K] to our samba server [Solaris 2.6] when using 2.2.6 or 2.2.7. We 
had no problems with 2.2.5 once oplocks had been turned off.


Any suggestions about what I might be doing wrong? Samba compiled 
from source with no special options [Makefile edited to relocate 
binaries and logs]. Given the vulnerability in pre 2.2.7 samba 
installations we are keen to sort this out.


The log entries at failure follow........
