Hi Erik.
I just want to let you know that sndfile-salvage was very useful to me.
I had a recording running all night and forgot about the 4GB limit, so I
ended up with a 4.4GB wav file showing 40 minutes length...
sndfile-salvage seems to have solved the problem for me.
Thanks a lot!

As for salvaging this file, give me a day or two
and I'll write a
utility to drag your data out of the file.
New program called sndfile-salvage here:
http://www.mega-nerd.com/tmp/sndfile-salvage.c
which can be compiled using:
gcc -Wall `pkg-config --cflags --libs sndfile` sndfile-salvage.c -o sndfile-salvage
If you're on 32 a 32 bit system you should add:
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE=1
just after gcc in the command line above.
The program is run as:
sndfile-salvage very-large.wav very-large.w64
and very-large.wav will remain untouched.
This program hasn't had a lot of testing but should work for your
case. Let me know how it goes.
Cheers,
Erik
