Subject: Problems with Rubyzip

I am having a problem with Rubyzip when I try to archive numerous
large files.  It runs fine for 63 files.  The zip is about 250Meg when
it fails.  If I skip the file that fails then the next file fails.  I
am waiting on IT to install rubyzip on Linux and I will try it there.
I tried it on another archive and it fails about 500Meg.  When it
fails if I check the zip (zip -T) it is a good zip file.  The file it
fails on does get in there.  It appears to failing at the end of the
commit.  If I run it again it fails in exactly the same spot so it is
not a network error.

Any ideas on what may be causing this?

Setup
  Running on PC over Samba.
  rubyzip 0.9.1 (latest version)


  zipFile = Zip::ZipFile.open(curZipFile, true)
  addToZip(zipFile, toFile, stageFile)

  def addToZip(zipFile, toFile, stageFile)
    begin
        zipFile.add(toFile, stageFile)
        @logFile.write("zip #{stageFile} to #{toFile}\n")
        zipFile.commit
        k = 1
    rescue SystemCallError
      $stderr.print "IO failed: " + $!
      @logFile.write("IO failed: " + $!)
      @logFile.close
       raise
    end
  end

***This is my error from the rescue section
