Did you try building with tif_win32.c instead of tif_unix.c?

I can see some documented limits here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/fileapi/nf-fileapi-writefile (nNumberOfBytesToWrite). Whether they apply for your case, I don't know.

This documentation note is a great find! Quoting it here for posterity:

"""

Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: Pipe write operations across a network are limited in size per write. The amount varies per platform. For x86 platforms it's 63.97 MB. For x64 platforms it's 31.97 MB.

"""

Presumably pipe writes are not the same as file writes. This guidance would only apply if the write was done to a pipe.
