I have noticed that the fix for this issue did not get committed. 
So I created a new bug so the patch does not get lost in the mailing 
list archive.

* ar mishandles 4GB files
  http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14302


Let me know if I should repost the patch here or change it in any way.
