Since GNOME Split is written in Java, I don't think that using 32 bits
or 64 bits versions really matter. Java is smart enough to run the code
properly on both architecture. I confirmed your bug (which came from a
bad variable declaration [int that should be long]) using a 32 bits
version of Ubuntu so... Anyway, the bug is now fixed.

Status in GNOME Split - File splitter for GNOME desktop: Fix Committed

Bug description:
File split failed to split 12 Gb backup file (files.tgz) using any algorithm on Ubuntu 10.
I was attempting to break it into 3 Gb chunks.
Instead split program just made a full size copy of the file it was backing up (with split extension tacked onto the name) and then abended with java null pointer exception at the conclusion.
Very disappointing...
