How large a file can I create on a FAT32 msdos partition with FreeBSD Stable?

I would have expected to be able to create a 4GB-2 file, but seem to be 
limited to 2GB-1. Is there such a limit and, if not, any idea why I am unable 
to create a really large file? Is this a bug?

I did make a 4GB file by appending 2GB-1 onto a 2GB-1 file, but I can't seem 
to do much with this file.

Thanks,
 

A month or so ago I asked a similar question only I was having 
difficulty just reading a file  2GB on a NTFS partition.  Which brings 
me to my question is there a file system that can store files greater 
than 2GB and that can be read from and written to in both windows 2k/xp 
and FreeBSD?
