Hi Erwin,

good news...changing the Makefile did the trick.
Both systems are 32bit, i am sorry but i don't have a debian 64bit system 
available at the moment. I can install a 64bit system next week and test it 
again, if that would be helpful?

Hi Dirk,

That is good to hear. I make that option default in the next version.

If both systems are 32 bit, I don't understand why this problem only appears on Debian 6. I would expect this problem only when you are on a 32bit Linux and the files are larger than 2GB. (I assumed your test files are smaller.) And it is still strange it happens only on win2k3 and win2k8 shares, and not on win2000 shares.

With _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 defined gcc will use the 64 bit file system interface. This makes it possible to open files larger than 2GB on a 32 bit system, provided that the OS has Large File Support (LFS) builtin (which Linux has). On a 64 bit Linux the file system interface is always 64 bit. You will not see the problem on a 64 bit Linux. You don't need to test this for me.

I'm glad it worked, but I don't understand why you need the 64 bit interface for win2k3 and win2k8 shares.

best regards,

Erwin
