samba - Mar 2001 - ATTN Development TEAM - "invalid mid from server"

Hi,
We are having a problem with smbclient running tar back to a FreeBSD
system for Amanda. smbclient seems to be choking on large files. Of the
many singularly uninformative error messages, the primary error* is
"invalid
mid from server"
Searching all FAQ's and news groups shows this has been a problem for
several users since 8/2000 with no published response from anyone
except a cryptic note to "downgrade to 2.0.7", which is the version
smbclient
claims to be.
Do you have or can you point to any further information?

kind regards,
hurf

I know you are backing up to a FreeBSD box, but what is the OS of the
client system?
