Is there some h(n)h(n)\to \infty such that for all 2i<jn/22\leq i<j\leq n/2 gcd((ni),(nj))h(n)?\textrm{gcd}\left( \binom{n}{i},\binom{n}{j}\right) \geq h(n)?

A problem of Erdős and Szekeres, who observed that gcd((ni),(nj))(ni)(ji)2i\textrm{gcd}\left( \binom{n}{i},\binom{n}{j}\right) \geq \frac{\binom{n}{i}}{\binom{j}{i}} \geq 2^i (in particular the greatest common divisor is always >1>1).
