[plug] File Size limit

[Bill Kenworthy]

Its not the kernel but the fact that you are running a 32bit machine. 
That places the "native" limit to 2^(32-1) or 2gbytes.  Reiser, ext2 and
vfat all have this limit.  Not sure if NTFS has the same limit or do
they translate it?  The easiest cure is to split the file when you get
near 2gbytes.  In some cases you can pipeline the processing and write
it out to storage at the rate it comes in, but this can get very messy! 
Ran into this when recording long audio tracks - fills a disk - fast!
