growisofs lacks support for large files.

  Regarding the original report, I think the problem was what now should be
solved with the -udf parameter, but since the report is somewhat old, I'm not
sure.

  Regarding this parameter, I was trying to burn a DVD-RW with a file >2GB
using k3b. After some tests and several option combinations, I was unable.
This is the report from k3b:

  Sorry, I just forgot to mention some other possibly related bugs.

  #413994 shows quite the same k3b log as me, so maybe that one could be
merged with this.

  #401988 exposition and explanations are quite the same as mine's, but it's
related to another package: mkisofs. Since I don't know the degree of
relationship with the latter package I don't know if this reported and
#401988 could be identified.

 Thanks.
