I'm guessing this is an MPE record-oriented fixed ASCII file.  It is an old
issue with Samba and many other POSIX applications that MPE fixed ASCII files
cause trouble with accurately determining the EOF, which results in data
truncation.

For best results, you want to create Samba (and Apache) content as POSIX
bytestream files and then EOFs will always be accurately determined.
