Hmm. 2.4.0 corrected this limitation all right. But it DOES NOT mean you can
use file > 2G now: bottleneck is GLibC this time. You need version 2.2 (not
released yet) to use files > 2G on ia32 (or was it added to late 2.1.x after
all? not such a big difference in fact: you must recompile it against latest
kernel headers even if support is there)...
