Has anyone who is using a 4gb card let their R-09 record over the 2gb limit? Does it stop at 2gb? Does it stop and restart a recording?

I tested my R-09 last night for the first time. I tried to format the Transcend 4GB using the R-09 first and it just said 'processing...' and never came back. I bailed after 10 minutes, removed the batteries, and then connected it to the PC via USB and formated the card fine using windows XP.
I ran line in from my Sonosax using 2 2500 mAH Powerex NiMH rechargeables. The first file was just a 1 1/2 minute wav at 24/48. Worked fine. The next file I let run until it stopped and I ended up with a 237:56.03 file taking up 4,015,138 KB (4GB) according to windows after I copied them onto my laptop.
I fell asleep while the 2nd file was being made and woke up about 8.5 hrs after first turning the R-09 on. It was still on so I moved the files to the laptop, and then restarted the recorder. The batteries finally died at about 45 minutes. I wasn't able to open the 4GB file with wavelab 5 or CEP. I opened it with CDWav and split it so I could save a 1 hr chunk of the file in the middle of the 4 hours and opened it with wavelab to verify that it was indeed 24/48.
So is this news? Has anyone else recorded a 2GB-4GB file without having to stop/restart?
