I understand the new filesystem for BSD4.4 will have 64-bit file sizes.

I was wondering how code already written under the assumption that the
return value from lseek() and fseek() will fit in a long(32 bits) is
going to handle such large files.

Is BSD4.4, which is now in alpha testing(?), available via anon-ftp
anywhere yet?
