Four times roughly 450 millions rows.
And maybe another bag of some millions that gbak didn't reported
because it stopped on the error report before emitting the "records
written" message.

This looks like there are close to 2 x 10^9 rows, which is close to
2^(32-1).

Don't we hit a system limit on 2^31 rows ?
