Re: problem with viewing large files

[Pavel Roskin <proski gnu org>]

Hi, Adam!

mc-4.5.55 is not compiled with large file support by default.

The current code (see snapshot on www.midnightcommander.org) defaults to 
using 64-bit file offsets.  There are still things that need to be 
cleaned up, especially in the viewer.

You din't mention the OS you are using.  On some OSes MC doesn't use mmap
in the viewer, but instead tries to load the whole file in memory.  Of
course it fails if the size of the file is more than the size of your
memory and swap combined.
