Support for largefile: stat() returns 32 bit value

Hi All, Just wondering if a future release will contain support for large files ie: size greater than
2GB..
The stat() function call uses a "struct stat" (defined in stat.h). This st_size field is declared as
an off_t and sizeof() reports that is a 4 byte quantity. As such, single files larger than 2GB show an
invalid value for the st_size field.
Is there a short term workaround for this?
Thanks in advance.
