Yeah, Jeremy Wadsack replied saying something similar.  I agree, and after
doing some quick Googling, seems it might be due to the ANSI/ISO C Standard
(if that's what analog is using for file I/O).  

"ANSI C requires that fseek and ftell operate with a long int file
offset (off_t).  On an implementation with 32-bit ints, this means they
only work up to 2 GB."

Found this explanation in a discussion for ethereal:

Anyway, splitting my data files helped, back on track making my marketing team
happy.
