Fixed the signed/unsigned confusions when dealing with files >= 2GB. 4GB is still a hard limitation of the gzip file format, though. Testing this was a bitch on Win98SE due to frequent system freezes. It didn't freeze while running gzip, it kept freezing while trying to *create* a > 2GB test file! This wasn't Python's doing. I don't know of a reasonable way to test this functionality in regrtest.py, so I'm not checking in a test case (a test case would necessarily require creating a 2GB+ file first, using gzip to zip it, using gzip to unzip it again, and then compare before-and-after; so >4GB free space would be required, and a loooong time; I did all this "by hand" once). Bugfix candidate, I guess. |
