The famous 2G limit. Now you got me nervously looking for the file position
type. The standard is silent, so is GNAT's documentation, so it's a long
journey in the sources: Direct_IO.Count, System.Direct_IO.Count,
Interfaces.C_Streams.long, System.Parameters.long_bits, and finally
Long_Integer'Size, which is... also 32-bit! (Inspecting Count'Size confirms
that.) Oh, well...
(Just for those who might be thinking that 2G is large enough let me tell
you I have hit that wall on several real world applications.)
