I tried dd (GNU fileutils) 4.0.36 (redhat 7.1)
and compiled and installed dd (fileutils) 4.1

still
[root@bits /a5]# /usr/fileutils/bin/dd if=/dev/zero of=./tgb count=4000 bs=1M
File size limit exceeded (core dumped)
[root@bits /a5]# ls
total 2098436
8 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 8192 Aug 23 22:07 .
1120 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1146880 Aug 23 22:07 core
2097152 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2147483647 Aug 23 22:07 tgb

no errors in /var/log/messages

some system info
amd k6-II 500
256 MB ram
Ali 1541/3 chipset
WD 20GB 7200 rpm and WD 13GB 540 rpm on one cable
kernel-2.4.9
/a5 directory above is /dev/hda5 a vfat partition (is this the problem?)

TIA
Fred
