The Freedos kernel supports 4GB files with standard open.

The problem here is that MOVE and XCOPY want to be smart and don't copy
the file unless the destination has enough room for the file.

Unfortunately it checks this using the old disk free space API, which
can only report up to 2GB of free space.

so it won't copy files > 2GB because there is not enough space.


Same problem as in ZEROFILL.
