When incrementally updating a file larger than 2GB, the old code could either fail outright (if the client asked the server for bytes beyond the 2GB boundary) or fail to copy all the blocks that had actually been modified (if the server reported a file size to the client in excess of 2GB), resulting in data corruption. Generally, such files won't occur anyway, but they might if using a non-default segment size or if there the directory contains stray files unrelated to PostgreSQL. Fix by a more prudent choice of data types. Even with these improvements, this code still uses a mix of different types (off_t, size_t, uint64, int64) to represent file sizes and offsets, not all of which necessarily have the same width or signedness, so further cleanup might be in order here. However, at least now they all have the potential to be 64 bits wide on 64-bit platforms. Kuntal Ghosh and Michael Paquier, with a tweak by me.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
