Comment (by bonefish):
Alas, I won't have the time to debug this anytime soon. Could you get an
strace, so we can at least see whether the error comes from a syscall and
whether the size argument is sensible?
If the error is indeed reported by
`PackageFileHeapWriter::_WriteDataUncompressed()`, it's probably a bug in
the `PackageFileHeapWriter` as the method is only called for writing
individual chunks -- which are <= 64 KiB -- and the chunk size table --
which requires roughly 1/4096th of the total size of the uncompressed
data, i.e. the critical data size limit is about 8 TiB.
