The client is running NTFS on W2K SP3. W2K is the original OS on the
server, it is not an upgrade from NT.

We are not attempting to create a file larger than 4Gb. Each file in the
.fdb should have a max size of 4Gb (8192 pageSize x 524288 pageCount). I
wouldn't think that the 4Gb limit would even be an issue, unless pageCount
is zero based.
