        Exactly, gnome-vfs was implemented pretty much from the beggining  
to be 64 bit capable:

1999-09-01  Ettore Perazzoli  <ettore comm2000 it>
...
        * libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-types.h: Define `GnomeVFSFileSize' as
        `guint64' and `GnomeVFSFileOffset' to `gint64' if we have gint64
        support

        * configure.in: Check for `open64' and `lseek64'.
...
1999-08-26  Michael Meeks  <michael imaginator com>

        * libgnomevfs/gnome-vfs-types.h: Add GnomeVFSFileSize, and
        GnomeVFSFileOffset ( unsigned, signed ). and push through the
        whole API - How will CORBA deal with this ?

        What prescience :-)
  
                Michael.
