That's a question worth pondering. I'll have to give this one some thought.

Is the real problem that process_file($file) will break on a single
file that is larger than 4GB and not in how you go through the sequence
of files?
Or is if you process 10 files, each .4GB, you die on the 10th file?
If the former then you might be slurping the file in its entirity and
need to make process_file work record-at-a-time (or similar) and clear
unnecessary state between lines.
If the latter then you've got a memory leak by not clearing state
between files (and you might still have the former problem).
