Re: Will CMUCL not open BIG files?

[rif]

I did a little follow up on this.  The problem already exists at the
level of the unix interface:

* (setf fid (unix:unix-open "smallOut" unix:o_rdonly unix:r_ok))
7
* (setf fid (unix:unix-open "ann500K.500.e5" unix:o_rdonly unix:r_ok))
NIL
* 

However, a small C program can use open to open either file:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  int fd;

  fd = open(argv[1], "r");
  printf("Tried to open %s, fd = %d.\n", argv[1], fd);

  return 0;
}

(compiled this, and...)

rif@oscar:~/Projects/SpeakerRecog/NIST98$ C/testopen smallOut 
Tried to open smallOut, fd = 3.
rif@oscar:~/Projects/SpeakerRecog/NIST98$ C/testopen ann500K.500.e5 
Tried to open ann500K.500.e5, fd = 3.

Also, perl will open and read from ann500K.500.e5 without complaints.
So I don't think it's a Unix or filesystem problem per se, I think it
is CMUCL-related somehow.  I'm open to other ideas of course.

Cheers,
