[c-nsp] TFTP File over 40MB on SUP720

Morning group.  

I am having trouble doing a tftp transfer on a SUP720.  I have had no trouble in the past although I am using CATOS currently and want to move the Native IOS for the SUP720.  The TFTP transfer starts normally but will crash and restart after a transfer of about 40MB.  I thought it might be my tftp software so I switched to another with the same results.

really has me stumped.  I even tried using a CISCO 3745 to tftp that large 44Mb file onto the external flash card, so I could just boot from the external slot on the SUP720.  But even in the 3745 I encountered the same results.  The transfer starts normally but will continue to crash and restart the transfer.  The funny thing is the TFTP process is never halted.  The Router or Switch continues transferring as normal just keeps on scrolling the exclamation points, although the tftp software registers an error and you can visually see it number of bytes reset and continue.  Virtually endless loop of tftp transferring. 

I only seem to have this problem on the new SUP720 files over 40 MB.

Any suggestions?
