You do? Thanks for the detective work as that explains the behaviour, but 
why motion should limit an mpeg file to 2GB is still not understandable 
to me, so I'll speak to the author(s) about it.

Other video files on the same filesystem are about 4.4GB, but motion's 
2GB filesize limit kills the program, destroying its usefulness for 
remote security documentation.
