When the block size * block count equals to 2gb or more, afio corrupts the
archive by truncating all files larger than 2gb.

Thanks for the bug report and patch, I am reviewing and incorporating it
in the upstream.
The patch upgrades some uints to size_t, but it does not upgrade the count
argument of readall to size_t, so I think this might lead to the achive
ending up corrupt because not all data is written into it if your memory
buffer (size * block count) is over 4GB and the file being archived is
over 4 GB. I am not entirely sure, I have not tested it to verify, but
just a warning: if you upgraded to 4GB memory buffer you might have gotten
corrupt archives.
Cheers,
Koen.
