[cvsnt] Adding file of 1.2GB

[Arthur Barrett]

Abdulrazak,

This is a known bug and has been discussed on the list previously:
http://customer.march-hare.com/webtools/bugzilla/ttshow_bug.cgi?tt=1&id=
4808

We've created several patches for commercial customers and are still
reviewing the results.  We'll put the best one into a future build of
2.5.04, or you can build from source on the CVSNT_BRANCH_2_5_03 branch
in the repository.

Note: keeping such large files in CVSNT on 32 bit windows is not
recommended - even with any patch from us.  For commercial customers we
recommend that if you are storing  files over 500Mb that you use a 64
bit server and operating system.  We currently support 64 bit SuSE
Enterprise Linux 9, 64 bit Solaris 9 and 64 bit PA-RISC HPUX 11i (with
provisional support for 64 Bit Itanium on HPUX 11.23).

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
