There was an incorrect check that limited the size to INT_MAX/4
(i.e. 512MB for systems where ints are 32bit). I've removed this check
in the CVS code (see patch below). I am now able to open an 800MB file
with this check removed. OTOH with a 2GB file, I got some unjustified
"memory exhausted" error, but I haven't tracked it down yet. Note also
that when you open large files, it's worthwhile to use
find-file-literally to be sure it's opened in unibyte mode; otherwise
it gets decoded which takes ages. Also if the file has many lines (my
800MB file was made up by copying a C file many times, so it had
millions of lines), turning off line-number-mode is is needed to recover
responsiveness when navigating near the end of the buffer.
