I am using the jaunty 9.04 beta live DVD to create a persistent USB
stick. Usb-creator is trying to create a single large block and is
failing as a result. Block sizes >= 2G aren't allowed by dd. Here is the
error in my .usb-creator.log when I tried to create a 3.9 GB file:

['dd', 'if=/dev/zero', 'bs=4162095690', 'of=/media/disk/casper-rw', 'count=1']
dd: invalid number `4162095690'

Are these patches in 9.04 beta? If not should I start a separate bug
report to address this? This isn't just an inconvenience it causes usb-
creator to fail silently without reporting any errors to the user. The
USB will boot but is not persistent because there is no casper-rw file.
