The way you have written your patch and the log message all looks good. There
is just one thing that is awkward: it is attached to this e-mail with a MIME
type of "application/octet-stream" which means we have to save it to disk and
then open it in a separate editor in order to see it. Please try to attach it
as type "text/plain" so that many of us will see it displayed in-line in our
mail programs. People will be more likely to review it if you do that.

That fix looks good to me. I assume you have run "make check" (Have you?) but
have not tested that it fixes the handling of very large files. It should be
fairly easy to test, for someone who has enough disk space for two or three
copies of a just-over-4GB file. But maybe it is not necessary to test it in
that way, because even if such a large file fails for other reasons, this fix
appears to be correct in itself.
