Hey, Bill,

You are right. Two slaps on my wrists - its the smbfs patch for large file
negotiation. I got the patches from:

http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/index.html

Without the smbfs patch, Windows client cannot copy a large file into a
samba server, nor the other way round. I hope this would get included.
This is critical for media centric companies like mine that have a lot of
DV video databases to adopt Linux file server.
