File Size Limit Exceeded?

The weird thing is, the 2.4.x kernels are suppose to allow large file
support. I can run 'dd' and it will make a 3 gig file, but if I run ftp,
it stops at 2.0 gig, saying 'file size limit exceeded' and so i tried
ncftp, and it finishes, but if the file is bigger then 2 gig, it freaks
out and it doesnt work, but it is the correct filesize.
