No, no, no, don't close it, fix it! There's 19 duplicates and something
like 50 people watching this bug. I've finished my education, had two
kids and changed jobs three times since I opened this bug in 2005. Can
we please not just close it, but fix it instead by issuing an error
message? Trying to do something that will never work should be
considered a bug.

It's got to be less than five lines of code the right place:

if( targetdir.fstype == "FAT32" && file.size > 4GB ) {
   echo "Error: You are trying to copy a file larger than 4GB to a FAT32 
formatted filesystem. FAT32 doesn't support file sizes larger than 4GB.";
   return 1;
}
