[Rpm-metadata] createrepo doesn't handle RPMs larger than 2.0GB correctly

I've tested with createrepo-0.9.9-18.fc19 and yum-3.4.3-105.fc19
that both the primary.xml and the sqlite database contains valid data:

$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1k count=5M >>testrepo/alacarte-0.13.4-4.fc17.noarch.rpm
$ createrepo testrepo
$ bzip2 -dc testrepo/repodata/*-primary.sqlite.bz2 >primary.sqlite
$ sqlite3 primary.sqlite 'select max(size_package) from packages'
5368836793
$ ls -l testrepo/alacarte-0.13.4-4.fc17.noarch.rpm 
-rw-rw-r--. 1 zpavlas zpavlas 5368836793 Aug 12 16:19 testrepo/alacarte-0.13.4-4.fc17.noarch.rpm

Seems the problem is on the client.. Could you uncompress and check
the generated primary.sqlite to confirm this?
