Precision is everything in computing. This post is so vague that it defies belief when it presumably comes from a Systems Administrator with a real problem.
Please post the precise versions of both Operating Systems.
Please state all filesystem settings. How were they created and with what parameters?
Please provide exact directory listings of any files involved.
Please post precise commands typed or provide crontab details.
Please state any error messages precisely.
Please provide detail of an example copy which works.
Please post the output from unix command "ulimit -a" for the user concerned. Are you "root"?
I have seen many examples of problems with files above 2Gb but never with 4 Gb. Does it work for say 3 Gb?

unpost_menu
post(3MENU) post(3MENU)
NAME
post - write or erase menus from associated subwindows
SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>
int post_menu(MENU *menu);
int unpost_menu(MENU *menu);
DESCRIPTION
The function post_menu displays a menu to its associated subwindow. To trigger physical display of the subwindow, use refresh or some
equivalent curses routine (the implicit doupdate triggered by an curses input request will do). post_menu resets the selection status of
all items.
The function unpost_menu erases menu from its associated subwindow.
RETURN VALUE
These routines return one of the following:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_POSTED
The menu has already been posted.
E_BAD_STATE
Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
E_NO_ROOM
Menu is too large for its window. You should consider to use set_menu_format() to solve the problem.
E_NOT_POSTED
The menu has not been posted.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
No items are connected to the menu.
SEE ALSO
ncurses(3NCURSES), menu(3MENU).
NOTES
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
