Yeah, thanks for the heads up. I've noticed the warning from 0-day as well
and realized this is a real problem on 32-bit systems. UDF does support
dirs larger than 4G in principle (although practically anything larger than
say 1MB is probably unusable due to linear directory structure :). Anyway,
I'm working on a fix.
