2.4.5 can handle it, but maybe you didn't update the tools:
$ uname -a
Linux 2.4.5 #1 Sun May 27 11:18:54 BRT 2001 i686 unknown
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1024k count=2060
2060+0 records in
2060+0 records out
baco$ ls -l testfile
-rw-r--r-- 1 1001 1001 2160066560 Jul 3 17:49 testfile
$
Maybe you should have a look at /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes
