There are always comments like "you can slurp the file as 
long as it's not too big" or "becareful not to slurp a 
really big file or you'll be in trouble".

So what I'd like to survey is what would be what the safest 
max size of a file that one should ever slurp and why? 
        (IE if you have 128 MB of RAM and try to slurp a 768MB file that'd cause 
issues)
        (IE if the max file size on your system is 2GB you may have isseus slurping a 
4 GB file.)

Thanks

DMuey
