It sounds like he's using samba 3.0.11 with the uclibc library on linux
2.4.24.

And that he tested with sending large files from windows, and also from
another linux box using smbfs.

Prime candidates for the problem with large files will be either how
samba 3.0.11 was compiled or uclibc.  uclibc does need large file
support explicitly enabling (according to a quick google).


Hence, I'd recommend trying to compile a recent version of samba
yourself (3.0.20 or 3.0.14a), and paying careful attention to the
configure output about large file support.

If it shows up that large file support can't be enabled, then I would
imagine it is a problem with the uclibc support (or uclibc interaction
with samba).
