in thread write hash to disk after memory limit

64-bit perl != largefile support, except on their test machines. I can attest that given largefile support in a 32-bit perl + filesystem support does work.

    OK. Seems like a documentation bug report is in order?

      The author covers it with:

      Note: We have not personally tested files larger than 4 GB -- all our systems have only a 32-bit Perl. However, we have received user reports that this does indeed work.
      I read that as "Not officially supported, but appears to work. Use at your own risk."
