Getting recent headers for groups with > 4 billion headers doesn't work

Description
With binary groups a new server with long enough retention, attempting to do Get new headers, or Get the last N days headers often returns nothing, and trying Get the last N headers, will get only the most recent headers within that 4 billion limit.
This happens for me with newshosting.com and, for example, alt.binaries.dvd, which as of this writing has 4985983341 headers.
This is obviously running into the long integer 2^32 limit. In my case this on an x86 platform. I'm unclear as to whether this is even fixable for x86. Thanks!
