>Description:
I've used the p7zip archiver on FAT32 partition. When it tried to create a
large file (I guess > 4GB) the kernel panickeg with the follwoing message on
the console:

panic: deextend: file too large

and dropped into DDB. I tried to kill the offending process, with no
success (DDB just said "no such process", while it was clearly visible
in the ps listing. maybe it's impossible to kill the current process?)

p7zip is multithreaded, if it makes a difference.

>How-To-Repeat:
Not sure. Maybe just creating a large file on FAT32 will reproduce the
problem.
>Fix:
