See also Issue 958: "Appears to be a 2Gbyte limit on blob upload on Mac OS X
Snow
Leopard", which I believe is likely to be closely related to this one.
This issue needs to be tested on Leopard to see if the same problem is
experienced there.

Note that these are _silent_ failures, with no error message generated, which
made
them doubly frustrating to track down.

This also does not work on Leopard, with firefox

I haven't had a chance to double-check, but based on a bit more poking around,
I'd
guess that offsets between approx 2**31 and approx 2**32 are probably being
treated
as negative, and lead to the zeroed files, and that offsets > 2**32 are being
wrapped
round to values ~4G smaller by 32-bit truncation.
All of this is consistent with a 32-bit signed integer being used somewhere,
but I
have no idea where it might be.
