+ CV 2014-04-04: I'm really puzzled how it should be possible to have 64K EAs,
+ if the NtQueryEaFile function chokes on buffers bigger than
+ 64K with STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER, at least on Windows 7 and
+ later. In theory, the buffer size should be
+
+ (sizeof (FILE_FULL_EA_INFORMATION) + MAX_EA_NAME_LEN
+ + MAX_EA_VALUE_LEN
+
+ to read a single 64K EA. But maybe I just misunderstood and
+ EAs can't be 64K. I can't find the source I got this
+ information from anymore. */
