iirc the default mingw lacked the proper off_t , if the following patch
was applied, files larger than 4gb would work. this old patch is from
win32 mingw mplayer builds:
http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/misc/mingwrt_file64.diff

this is fixed in the mingw-w64 fork of mingw.
so if you build with the mingw-w64 toolchain it will work ok.
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/

note: i havent checked if current mingw has fixed this either. i dont
know which toolchains we've been using to build mingw binaries.
