File size limitation?

I am assuming you are using a Linux distribution that uses a 2.2 base
kernel.  There is a bug in the 2.2 kernel allowing only files to only reach
2 GB.  This bug is fixed in the 2.4 series of kernels and to my knowledge
the file limitation moves up into the hundreds of petabytes area.  (AKA out
of realistic sizes for most users/corporations at this time)
