hmm.  Java itself uses longs (64 bits) for file offsets. There is some
native code that java.io. uses to hook into the OS.  It might be
designed for an older 32-bit HP API.  Or it may be that partitions are
old, 32-bit even under the new 64-bit os. You may have to reformat
them to free up 64 bit power.

Try an experiment with C to see if it too has this limit on that
partition.

Consider that Java 1.5 has been declared obsolete for quite some time
now.  JDK 1.7 is out.  Try your code with 1.7 and see how it works.

you are just creating more places you will have to search for them.
