I'm currently working on a fix. Big file support is broken in the stdlibc++
GCC 3.0 through 3.3. GCC 2.95 or 3.4 is fine.

On one hand, the mingw (GCC for Windows) folks are likely to release a
mingw version of GCC 3.4 soon (RC is already out), OTOH I'm writing a small
wrapper which uses normal fopen() etc calls instead of C++ streams.

(Originally, my plan was to wait for GCC 3.4 and avoid doing this dirty
workaround, that's why it didn't happen earlier. Unfortunately, it looks
like GCC 3.4 will not be released with sarge, and I don't really want to
stick to GCC 2.95, so I have to implement the workaround after all.)

So this will be a non-issue RSN.
