[OpenAFS] File Size Limitations

[Hartmut Reuter]

With the stable releases (which are not compiled with large file support)
the maximum filesize is (2GB - chunksize).
With instable 1.3.52 you have large file support on the client and (as 
far as I know)
on the server side. However, on the client side it's available only for
AIX (4.2 - 5.2), Linux 2.4
and (Solaris >=8 with 64bit kernel), unless someone else has done the work.
