Description:
Documentation says "The combined size of the InnoDB log files must be less than 4GB." - this applies only to 32-bit servers; 64-bit servers can use a larger log file size, if http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=12701 is accurate

How to repeat:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-restrictions.html

Suggested fix:
Note differences in 32-bit and 64-bit requirements

"...64-bit servers can use a larger log file size, if http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=12701 is accurate"

We will not make a change based on speculation about something that might be true. Please verify that it is true.

Ah, the buffer pool can exceed 4GB, but the logs cannot. Not a bug then.
