Files > 2G on ext2 in 2.4.0?

Does the 2.4.0 kernel support files > 2G on 32bit architectures
using the ext2 or any other linux supported filesystem?

Someone is wanting to make tar files > 2G in Linux ia32 on ext2
and it is failing. I told them it is a kernel limitation on
ia32, and that I'd try and find out if 2.4.0 corrects this
limitation.

Thanks in advance.

I've overclocked my keyboard interface.  It's quite messy dipping my
hands into the mineral oil, but *MAN* is my keyboard ever fast now!
