Hi,

Writing >=2GB to a socketConnection (e.g. via writeBin) does not work 
correctly, because of this int typecast in modules/internet/sockconn.c:
> static size_t sock_write(const void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nitems,
>                        Rconnection con)
> {
>     Rsockconn this = (Rsockconn)con->private;
>     ssize_t n = R_SockWrite(this->fd, ptr, (int)(size * nitems),
>                           this->timeout)/((ssize_t)size);
>     return n > 0 ? n : 0;
> }
which seems uncalled for, given:
> ssize_t R_SockWrite(int sockp, const void *buf, size_t len, int timeout)


Is there a rationale for it, or should it be fixed?
