[Samba] SCO 5.0.5, samba 2.2.5, copying large files - further testing

I have Samba 2.2.5 on Several SCO Machines. One on a 5.0.5 machine, one on a
5.0.6 machine and one in Unixware 7.1.2 It might be a networking issue and
not a Samba issue. Openserver 5.0.4 and 5.0.5 has a notorious bug in the
3COM and Intel network card drivers that come from SCO. The problem would
only happen on large transfers or heavy network I/O. I would make sure you
have the updated drivers from SCO and all the Supplements. You can find all
the SCO updates and Supplements for OpenServer at
http://www.sco.com/support/ftplists/osr5list.html

A follow up - here is the testing from smbclient from linux.
I have also attached the log.proxy

$ smbclient \\\\glpsco\\apps -U darx
added interface ip=x.x.1.253 bcast=x.x.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from x.x.1.14 ( x.x.1.14 )
Password:
Domain=[x] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.5]
smb: \> mkdir test
smb: \> cd test
smb: \test\> put fa.mdb
putting file fa.mdb as \test\fa.mdb Error writing file: Call returned zero
bytes (EOF)

Call returned zero bytes (EOF)
 closing remote file \test\fa.mdb
smb: \test\> Segmentation fault
