samba - Oct 2002 - Samba Crashes on High load ?

Hi,

Iv'e got a SuSE 8.0 box with Samba 2.2..3a-64 on it. I tried to copy 4.1GB
of
MPG/AVI Videos (103 particula files) to a Windows98 SE box. But i din't take
long and the Linux box crashes. It don't respond to anything!
I tried to copy them by 4file groups. It worked bether but it still crashes 
once.
Where's the "bug" here ???

Hardware:

512MB SDRAM
Mainborad: Asus A7V

		IBM DLTA 305040

It would be very nice if you could help me

Which is the client, and which is the server?  If the client is smbfs,
then this could be a bug there, otherwise it's a generic kernel bug -
Samba should not be able to crash an entire machine.
