rsync - Aug 2003 - Maximum file size with rsync?

I've been trying to find mention of rsync's maximum transferrable file
size,
but haven't been able to.  I'm specifically curious if it would be
capable to
send a file in the neighborhood of 200gb with rsync assuming the filesystems 
on both end could handle it?

Before embarking on this, check the archvies for a discussion of how the
rsync algorithm breaks down on files with over a few hundred megabytes of
changes, and how you can help correct for this by adjusting the block
size.

I don't think rsync would work well for files that large if they contained
lots of changes.
