trn-and-max int?

[Hart L. <ch...@hu...>]

Wow, in several years I was unsubscribed.  Also, I tried writing Wayne and the 
Debian maintainer, as well as posting in news.software.readers.
Certainly, at least since switching from FC9 to Debian Testing, I can once 
again enjoy trn, but now when I save articles to a file, the file will not 
increase past 2147483647
This doesn't happen in freebsd, just seemingly on my Debian 2.6.32
In googling that number, says something about max int and fat32.  Is their some 
easy way I can remove this barrior?  Not sure, but it may write over the 
beginning at that point?
Sure it would be better if I could send the content directly to uudeview  but 
instead at an article thread, I type
a:s dance.msg
They append or save fine until that file size, but in freebsd  I have actually 
saved 35GB to a single file.
I tried looking for a source, but just found regular packages.  When I run tar 
xf on a package, seems to save in root.  I think it would be much less 
confusing if it created a /trn4.0-test77
Thanks so much in advance if any1 can please solve this mystery.
