What program gives you that error?

Heck, I'd do a "chmod 644 (or whatever the others are)" anyhow. If
something's messed up behind the scenes, that might fix it. Never seen
metadata get screwed up, but I've seen other stuff act like that.

Hmm, maybe there's a maximum file size?

These are part of a VM I use. Inside, I don't see the split. I didn't ask
it to segment itself; it just did.

971M windows-2000 1.8G windows-2000-02 908K windows-2000-03

Maybe in newer versions, there's a "don't split" option. You'd think they'd
ensure their app was OK with files >2GB; anybody got one that works?
