I tried to transfer a large file (~300MB) to a windows machine from my
gentoo laptop:

# mount -t cifs //winbox/movies /mnt/samba -o iocharset=utf8,umask=0000
# exit
$ cp largefile.avi /mnt/samba

The transfer starts and eats 100% of my CPU. However, after transfered
~40MB of data, my linux system freezed: mouse point doesn't move,
keyboad doesn't response, even Ctrl-Alt-Del has no effects. The only
thing I can do is hard-reset my laptop.

If I share this file via samba server and use windows explorer on the
winbox to retrieve it, it works.

It seems something wrong with the samba client?
