You're right, Reinoud. I should have built Python 2.1.3 with the famous large file support on, but for several reasons I'm not used to build stuff in W2K, so I went to Linux RH9 in the way Max suggested. I enabled LFS before building both Python and Zope. Then copied all the products from W2k to Linux; then started Zope; packaged the offending Data.fs; and then moved it back to W2K.. Fortunately it worked.

Depending on your setup, the "easiest" solutions might be to move it to a Linux install and then pack it there.
Contrary to some belief, windows has been ahead of Linux here for years :-) NTFS has supported large files and filesystems (4 TB) since 1994. If there is a problem, I suspect it is in the python build, not in Windows itself.
(assuming you use a modern windows version and not a W9x variant)
