I don't know.  The file output code (to implement the "FileSink" 
class) uses the standard routines "fopen()" and "fwrite()" (and 
doesn't try to seek at all within the file), so I don't know why the 
output file would get restricted to 2**31 bytes in size, if your OS 
supports larger sizes.  What version of Linux are you using?
