I am running OpenSSH on Solaris 2.6 and I can copy large files from Sol2.6 ->
Sol2.6 using OpenSSH 2.5.1p2 and 2.3.0p1.  I did get a sigpipe when my
filesystem wasn't created and mounted with largefiles enabled.

I use Veritas, so after I make the fs, I mount it and use fsadm to turn on
largefiles support.  After that, everything worked like a charm.
