I agree with FX here. His patch is small, simple and "corrects" the
problem for everyday use, except for a rather obscure corner case.
Who's going to write >1 GB formatted to stdout/err anyway? Big files
tend to be unformatted, and opened separately in the program (and this
case is taken care of by FX's patch).
Patch is OK for mainline and 4.0 IMHO.
