This limitation was placed here intentionally, because huge values
are %99 of the time bugs and unintentional.
You will see that every assembler optimized memcpy on sparc64 has
this bug trap, not just NG4.
This is a very useful way to find bugs and length {over,under}flows.
Please do not remove it.
If you have to do 4GB or larger copies, do it in pieces or similar.
Thank you.
