Of course, in a way he's already done part of that.  Due to the
redirection, nsrinfo isn't dealing with the file offsets directly, so
it's not the source of the 2G failing.  Instead the redirection makes
the shell responsible for the offsets.

It is possible that simply using a different (largefile aware) shell
would be sufficient.
