I sense this is the case, Leif.  I'm pretty sure they're just overflowing
and ending without telling anyone.  This would not be unusual behavior in a
*NIX program.

That means I'll have to be very creative to handle savefiles over 4GB.  The
only way I can think of is to split the file into chunks divisible by 528
(savefile record length) and copy them directly to a physical file, combine
the PFs, and then write the PF to a savefile using the old OVRSAVF
technique.  I think, though, that I may just have to limit my clients'
individual savefiles to under 4GB.
