SAX maximum input file size?

Hi,

I am using the most recent version of SAX on an ubuntu (Gutsy) linux 
distribution, and I'm trying to read an input file of around 3Gb, but it 
appears SAX cannot handle input files of > around 2Gb. Is this a known 
issue?

Many thanks,

Ben

In Linux, I think you activate large file support with
"-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" in your compile command.

It's a limitation of the standard C runtime library APIs.  I know we have 
large file support in Solaris, but I don't know what APIs are available in 
GCC's run-time to support it.
