We'll put the best one into a future build of 2.5.04, or you can build from source on the CVSNT_BRANCH_2_5_03 branch in the repository. Note: keeping such large files in CVSNT on 32 bit windows is not recommended - even with any patch from us. For commercial customers we recommend that if you are storing files over 500Mb that you use a 64 bit server and operating system. We currently support 64 bit SuSE Enterprise Linux 9, 64 bit Solaris 9 and 64 bit PA-RISC HPUX 11i (with provisional support for 64 Bit Itanium on HPUX 11.23). If you read the bug description you will find what circumstances the bug appears. The bug is not in CVSNT it is in Windows. Switch to a non-windows CVSNT server and the problem will go away, or use one of our workaround patches (source is free, compiled versions you need to purchase from the web site).
