2281	Invalid handling of large files (>4GB) on samba (different filesize, cannot copy)	gpsoft		"latest version (and also all previous) handles large files (probably more than `2^32` bytes or more than around 4 GB limit) incorrectly. File  size is incorrect in file listing and when you try to copy this file it will copy forever.

Example:
in mc listing:
│ file.iso    │396384K│Jul  1  2009|

The same file with smbclient listing:

  file.iso A 4700864512  Wed Jul  1 00:04:03 2009

Probably it is a overflow in some 32 bit unsigned integer, because:
`2^32` = 4294967296
4700864512-4294967296 = 405897216
405897216 / 1024 = 396384K
... which is exactly what you can see in mc file listing.

You can't copy this file successfully from remote smb system to local filesystem - it will copy forever, the size of file after a while is bigger than the size of original file. With ftp I don't have the same problem. Software versions below, if you need any other informations I can send screenshots or other informations.
