Another round on SF patch 618135: gzip.py and files > 2G The last round boosted "the limit" from 2GB to 4GB. This round gets rid of the 4GB limit. For files > 4GB, gzip stores just the last 32 bits of the file size, and now we play along with that too. Tested by hand (on a 6+GB file) on Win2K. Boosting from 2GB to 4GB was arguably enough "a bugfix". Going beyond that smells more like "new feature" to me.
