LET_OS_MANAGE_FILESIZE is good way. I think one problem of this option I
fixed. It is size of offset. I went thru the code and did not see any
other problem there. However, how you mentioned it need more testing. I
going to take server with large disk array and I will test it.

I would like to add --enable-largefile switch to configure file to
enable access to wide group of users. What you think about it?
