I am sorry for the misleading term "crashes" in the titel, but I didn't find any better expression while writing the bug report. samba does not crash/segfault, rather it raises the CPU load to 100%. Don't know how to call this.
Today I tested several file sizes and stopped at about 3500MB. It seems that there is no static border as a file with this size works in some case and it several others, it does not work and causes the above described problem. If a file is below this threshold, the probability is very high that the transmission will work. I also raised the log level in samba to see what happens within samba and found the following: [2009/11/12 21:00:24, 0] lib/util_sock.c:730(write_data) [2009/11/12 21:00:24, 0] lib/util_sock.c:1468(get_peer_addr_internal) getpeername failed.
