Thanks - done. I just dumped to a custom backup file, then dumped it do
SQL, and compared each version (V7.2.1, 8 byte & 4 byte offsets), and they
all looked OK. Also, the 4 byte version reads the 8 byte offset version
correctly - although I have not checked reading > 4GB files with 4 byte
offset, but it's not a priority for obvious reasons.

So once Giles gets back to me (Monday), I'll commit the changes.
