    HAMMER - break atomicy for huge reads and writes.
    
    * Allow reads or writes in excess of 100MB to be interrupted.  Otherwise
      it is a simple matter to DOS the machine into oblivion.
    
      And if you think it could be bad on a 32 bit machine, just think what
      can happen on a 64-bit machine with a multi-terrabyte address space!
