This is a known fault - you've overrun the 32-bit file length attribute,
see the archives for '64 bit'. If you want it fixed, as there are no
_current_ plans to address this in cygwin, you will need to do so
yourself or arrange for someone (ie RedHat :]) to do it as paid
consulting work.

If you choose to do it yourself, I'm sure there are many willing
commentators happy to point out what needs to be done and provide
pointers if you get stuck.

I'm also confident that a patch to do this (properly!) would be happily
considered for inclusion - but as Chris Faylor is the project leader
you'll need to see what he says.
