Affects: k3b (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
The ISO standard for data DVDs apparently dictates that files cannot be
bigger than 2**32 bytes.  When you try to add a file larger than 2**32
bytes to a data DVD project, k3b tells you can't.

Except when the file is EXACTLY 2**32 bytes.

In that case, it lets you add the file and then turns your DVD into a
coaster.

Apparently, 2**32 is NOT a valid file size, so k3b should not let you
add a file of that size to a burn project.
