I am sad to report that the issue still appears to exist in 3.0.4.
Conditions seem similar to other instances reported where the file is 1GB.
And, like those other reports, I have unfortunately overwritten the

Yes, we know, but we can't find out for sure what is causing the problem
until someone provides a reproducible test case. If you like, you can
enter a bug at https://bugzilla.samba.org/ (there isn't one yet) to keep
links to all the relevant threads in one place.
