When I run this program:

big.cc:
-----------------
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{

  ofstream test("/scratch/bigfile.txt");
  for (long i = 0; i < 1500000000; i++) {
    test << i;
  }
  test.close();

  return 0;
}
--------------------

$ ./big
Filesize limit exceeded
$ ls -l
total 2099204
-rw-r--r--  1 oetiker oep 2147483647 Jan  4 20:58 bigfile.txt

it ends after writing two GB ...

The bug is fixed in the gcc-3.4 distro ... details here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8610

This is on debian sarge.

cheers
