To date the engine code has *not* been reviewed to enable 64bit I/O
operations for external files (even under v1.5).

For safety sake, consider the limit to be 2GB. The file pointer in the
code is a int (I'm not sure whether it's signed or unsigned).

BTW, why are you 'concerned' about the file limits for external files?
(not many people get close to the limit)
