Read and write each 1024 byte buffer, rather than trying to buffer the entire content of the file. We are only copying the contents to a file descriptor and do not use it ourselves. Previous code would crash on all files > 2 Gib, when the offset variable became negative (perhaps below the level of perl), resulting in a crash. On a 32 bit system, or a system with low memory it might crash before reaching 2 GiB due to memory exhaustion. This code may leave a partial file behind in case of failure, where the old code would leave a completely empty file. Neither version verifies the correctness of the content. Calling code must take care of verification and cleanup.
