For the other list readers with problems:
I used patch 2.4.2-pre2 (not pre3)
plus axboe's loop-4 patch (in the people directory).
/ftp@ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/kernel/people/axboe/patches/2.4.2-pre1
It solves most problems here.

Excellent - this solved my problems. I stress tested the loopback device
with a big copy and it seemed to work. I also made losetup use open64:
[root@crush mount]# diff lomount.c lomount.c~
230c230
< if ((ffd = open64 (file, mode)) < 0) {
---
> if ((ffd = open (file, mode)) < 0) {
and gave it a 10GB file. This seems to be working fine as well.
