Apparent filesize limit?

Hello, I've created a NetCDF convention to amass into one 
outputfile results contained in many (e.g. 50) NetCDF files
(of the AnDI for spectrometry type).  Data in the new 
convention include two 3-D arrays, with their unlimited 
dimension being the number of input files. But these 
conventions/types may be unimportant to my question.

After some coding false starts, I can now iterative through
a list of input files and load data into the output file
without obvious memory problems. But all stops at iteration  
38, when the output file just exceeds 2 gigabytes, 
specifically, when it is 2,097,144 kilobytes. 

My question:  Have I run up against a NetCDF file size 
Limitation?  Or is this some glitch in R or in Windows?

Thanks,
-John

P.S.  I'm working in the R (v. 2.3.1) statistical programming 
environment. I use Pavel Michna's RNetCDF (v.1.2-1) package 
within R to access netcdf (v. 3) library functions.  This is 
all happening on a Windows XP laptop with 512 M RAM. The command
in my iteration that fails is "var.put.nc".  The error is 
generated from a line "stop(nc$errmsg, call. = FALSE). The error
message is "Invalid Argument".  -JT
