You're welcome, thanks for giving it a try. :-)

No, should be 4GB exactly, but there's some overhead involved with the 
filesystem data structures, so it ends up being slightly less. Not 2.7GB 
though. Is the file it's failing on 1.3GB large (or larger)? It's possible 
that you're just trying to add too much data to the image, so when it tries 
to allocate space for the last 1.3GB file, it fails, killing the build. 
Does this sound like it might be what's happening? Or are you having 
trouble with images that should definitely be smaller than 4GB but larger 
than 2.7GB?

Regardless, I think I will start precalculating the image size before 
building the actual image so you can know ahead of time if you have too 
much data.
