I do not think that inn2 is going to be a problem, because it has been 
built with --enable-largefiles for quite a few releases (and yes, 
switching was a bit traumatic for the 32 bit systems involved).

OTOH, inn will be affected. But inn systems are small enough nowadays 
that users can just rebuild the database.
