Make sure the Bull samba has HAVE_EXPLICIT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT compiled 
in.  It probably does, but it can't hurt to check.
    smbd -b |grep LARGEFILE
Make sure root doesn't have a ulimit.  Either in security/limits or 
assigned by profile after login.
Possibly disable AIX sendfile support if it's compiled in.  Can't hurt 
to try.
    use sendfile = no
