At any rate, it looks like you have an export that is all data up to this
length...

...and that you were using the file plugin to read it. So let's see
what happens if I create a file larger than 4G to try and reproduce:
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=myfile bs=1G count=5
5+0 records in
5+0 records out
5368709120 bytes (5.4 GB, 5.0 GiB) copied, 15.5435 s, 345 MB/s
$ ./nbdkit -fv file myfile &
$ nbdsh --base-allocation --uri nbd://localhost
<nbd> def f(m, o, e, s):
... print(e)
...
<nbd> h.block_status(2**32-2, 0, f)
[4294967295, 0]
<nbd> h.block_status(2**32-1, 0, f)
server crashed
Okay, I can reproduce it with the file plugin, but not with the memory
plugin. Now working on root cause.
