Receiving large files with ERC-DCC |

When receiving large files with ERC-DCC I get the error
ERC-DCC (erc-pack-int): packet too large
incessantly which makes Emacs unresponsive until eventually the IRC
server connection is closed.
I believe this happens when the file size is larger than 2 or 4 GB
which does not fit in an integer. This causes a failure when the
function erc-dcc-get-filter tries to send back the number of received
bytes.
Is there a way around this?

Closing this bug since there hasn't been any action in six months or so.
If the problem persists, please let me know, and I'll reopen it. Thanks.
