That may be, but the question is, if it is only a FS limitation or if the gdbm 
code itself has a limitation. GNUnet is internally limited to 4 GB files 
(don't quote me on that, I've never tried), and while this limitation would 
not apply to gdbm (since we never access that file directly), I can very well 
imagine gdbm using 'signed int' to access the file. 

The real question here is, if you really need to have > 2 GB in the gdbm 
database (that's a huge amount of content that has been migrated; did you 
actually configure GNUnet to allow using that much space -- or did we go over 
the limit that was set by the user!?)
