           Summary: tar task fails when fileset contains large file (>=2GB)
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: HP
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


The following XML in build.xml, produces the error at the end of this
description.   A file that is 2.5GB large is in the path that the tar is working
on.  If an <exclude> element is created for the specific file, and all the rest
of the files are <2GB, the tar succeeds.  Ant 1.6.2 executing on RHAS 2.1 on HP
intel hardware (DL380).   Also, gnutar successfully builds this tar file. Trying
to build an exec command to execute the guntar but the syntax escapes me.
