I suspect that what this means is that your monotone is not built with
large (>32 bit seek offsets) file support.  I am pretty sure that
monotone itself works with >2GB databases fine, so long as your
kernel/libc/toolchain are set up for such things; but someone else on
the list may be able to confirm or say if there are any special hacks
needed...
