Bug Description
I was trying to copy a large tar file (7.4 GB) from my internal hard-drive to an external one connected over USB 2. The "Copy" and "Paste" inside Nautilus crashed twice so I decided to try cp from the "Terminal". This crashed also, producing the message, "File size limit exceeded (core dumped)". I was fairly surprised at this. It seems that it can only copy 4.0 GB before crashing.
"Report" attached (I hope).

What filesystem do you have in destination (usb harddrive)?
