Does this mean that we need at least 6 GiB memory to run this test...?

Indeed. I don't know how to test it otherwise. I could reduce the size to a bit more than 4GiB, or even 2GiB given it's signed.
We could also just not test it, but this revealed that the Java version has the same limitation, so I think it was valuable. (I won't update the JRuby version though, because there everything uses an int so it's way to much work for me. cc @headius)

I ended up removing the test, as it also doesn't work on windows, nor on 32bit systems.

For a reason unknown, even though `pos` is stored as a `long`, the `#pos` and `#pos=` treat it as an `int`, which prevent skeeing into strings larger than 2GiB.
