I haven't really used IB6 with files of that size. If that is the
case, then yes, it wasn't quite wrong also.
But, generally speaking, the limitations are found in the file system
itself. You may find some softwares, like video capture softwares that
split the file when it reaches the 4GB limit. This to avoid file
corruption. I would expect IB6 to work properly in an NTFS file
system. Is this a bug in IB6? What causes this to happen? I know that
the source code of IB6 was really buggy, and that the first things
that firebird developers starting doing was to make it run, so I would
presume that to be a bug.
