I think we were just talking about the file descriptor representation.
In Windows I think this is a pointer.

The libgcj FileDescriptor is already set up to allow 64-bit file
contents.  The various methods use `long' arguments for lengths of
things, e.g.:

  native void setLength (long pos) throws IOException;
