I'm curious if the companies who support Unix on large systems made the
necessary file system changes to allow individual files which are larger 
than 4 gigabytes ??  You'd have to at least stretch the file size in the
inode beyond 32 bits and possibly mess around in the super block.  Any
comments ??
