It turns out that ISO9660 single extent has a 4G limit, but mkisofs from
modern cdrecord creates mluti-extent images.  I made an image which was
over 4G and just shy of a regular DVD size, and successfully mounted it
(via vnconfig) and did diff -r with the original tree from which the
.iso was made.  So over 4G with ISO9660 does work, with some tools at
least.  (I have not tried makefs yet.)
