I think you are on to something Valdis.  I ran ./configure --enable-lfs.  Although it seems to complete successfully, I see the following in config.log:

configure:6353: result: no
configure:6364: Large File Support Enabled.
configure:6374: checking for special C compiler options needed for large files
configure:6454: result: no
configure:6460: checking for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS value needed for large files
configure:6492: gcc -c -g -Wall  conftest.c >&5
configure:6529: warning: left shift count >= width of type
configure:6529: warning: left shift count >= width of type
configure:6531: error: size of array `off_t_is_large' is negative
configure:6495: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| #line 6467 "configure"
| /* confdefs.h.  */
|
| #define PACKAGE_NAME ""
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME ""

And, after a make and make install the new binary still does not work (>2GB).  Obviously I don't yet have large file support.  I'm over my head at this point and am open to suggestions as to flags or other changes to get large file support working

Thanks for your help,

Dave

Haven't seen a solution for this one, but have seen several others 
mention a similar problem.  flow-cat (and flow-merge) only seems able to 
write up to 2GB file size.  I CAN create files greater than 2GB with 
Perl, dd, etc.  I'm open to any suggestions.
    

Go back to the build stage, and see if './configure --enable-lfs'
fixes it.  For bonus points, figure out why it didn't detect correctly
(Possibly your system needs additions to $CFLAGS or $LDFLAGS)?
