InterBase 6.0x and earlier handled files larger than 4Kb by starting
again at the beginning - overwriting the first part of the file. There
has never been an automatic split, though you can create of modify the
database with instructions to split at a certain size. Firebird has
always used 64bit addresssing, so 4gb is no problem for us.
