I have some questions for you: * Was this a brand new instance created with 9.40 or was it migrated from an older version of IDS? * If it was migrated, which version did it come from? * And, presumably, you actually added the large size chunks? That is, there isn't any question that the server is mishandling some older chunks that were (of necessity) smaller than 2GB? I'd appreciate you emailing me your answers (as well as posting them).
