Put this in the wrong thread, sorry!
UPDATE: I've realized that this seems to be an issue with the compiler flags used to build samba. I've realized that i need to define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE, _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE, and _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. I've done this, but still have no luck reading files larger than 4GB. Anyone have suggestions?
