Actually, this looks much more like the 32-bit file-size limit
in Cygwin.  2,097,156KB is just over 2^31 (given 1K=1024 bytes).

I expect large file support will be added to Cygwin one day, but it's not
there yet, so there's no workaround (except of course that you are always free
to use direct WinAPI calls within a Cygwin program).
