No, unfortunately that doesn't help.  I slightly modifed
fanotify-example.c to call perror() when read() fails, and here's the
output:

jmaggard@...ggard-W520:~/fanotify-test$ sudo ./fanotify-example . &
[1] 7248
jmaggard@...ggard-W520:~/fanotify-test$ Started monitoring directory '.'...
truncate -s 2047m 2047m
Received event in path '/home/jmaggard/fanotify-test/2047m' pid=7250 (unknown):
FAN_OPEN
FAN_CLOSE_WRITE
jmaggard@...ggard-W520:~/fanotify-test$ truncate -s 2048m 2048m
read: Value too large for defined data type
