Good catch, I didn't spot the number.
2137747449 is only about 9 MB below the 2 GB mark.

Bruno, you should definitely look into that.
To test for largefile support, use the test provided with
python. Your path may vary, but I do this:

$ python2.1 /usr/local/lib/python2.1/test/test_largefile.py

The output should look something like the following, with no
reported errors:

create large file via seek (may be sparse file) ...
2500000001L =?= 2500000001L ... yes
check file size with os.fstat
check file size with os.stat
2500000001L =?= 2500000001L ... yes
play around with seek() and read() with the built largefile
0L =?= 0 ... yes
'\x00' =?= '\x00' ... yes
1L =?= 1 ... yes
0L =?= 0 ... yes
0L =?= 0 ... yes
42L =?= 42 ... yes
42L =?= 42 ... yes
84L =?= 84 ... yes
84L =?= 84 ... yes
2500000001L =?= 2500000001L ... yes
2499999991L =?= 2499999991L ... yes
0L =?= 0 ... yes
2500000000L =?= 2500000000L ... yes
'a' =?= 'a' ... yes
play around with os.lseek() with the built largefile
0L =?= 0 ... yes
42L =?= 42 ... yes
84L =?= 84 ... yes
84L =?= 84 ... yes
2500000001L =?= 2500000001L ... yes
2499999991L =?= 2499999991L ... yes
0L =?= 0 ... yes
2500000000L =?= 2500000000L ... yes
'a' =?= 'a' ... yes
@test exists: 0
