The next time you copy a file containing 19 exabytes let us know. :-)If we're going to fix this, I suggest removing the limit entirely; that's better than generating a warning if the limit is gone past. I expect there are plenty of places in the code that stop working after 2**63 bytes, and I'd focus on them first.
