I don't see anything about the redone algorithm that possibly fixes the 
problem with files greater than 25 gig.  Last time there was discussion 
I think it was supposed to be:

if file_len < 4096: return 64 # set minimum of 64 bytes
else: return long(pow(file_len, 0.5)/16)*16

in Rdiff.py to replace the filelen/2000.  I've since given up on using 
rdiff-backup for files as large as this, and never tested the changes, 
but I saw the release announcement and thought this might have been 
overlooked since it doesn't look like it's been changed in the cvsweb.
