Indeed, backing up files over 2GB is a top priority for releasing 0.11 and 
the only major outstanding item on my list of criteria. Please be assured 
that I fully intend to have this working on Windows and Unix before we 
release the first 0.11 release candidate, however painful that might be.

Since I've had very little feedback on my current efforts to resolve this, 
your assistance in testing and debugging would be greatly appreciated, but 
I will try to make it as easy for you as I can.

Cheers, Chris.
