A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Using trannsferTo() for large files on many servers, we found that these specific parameters cause the exception.
Position: 2,147,483,647
Data length: 1
Exception: java.io.IOException: Value too large for defined data type

When using any other position and/or length does not cause that exception. Seems like it's a boundry-check bug in the underlying code.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Simply use the parameters mentioned here, with any open output channel.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Successfull transfer of the byte.
ACTUAL -
The IOException mentioned here was thrown.

ERROR MESSAGES/STACK TRACES THAT OCCUR :
Exception: java.io.IOException: Value too large for defined data type

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
