I spoke too soon. The first commit went through after running the
rebuild with the options I listed, but then a second commit right
afterwards caused a segfault again. Running:
fossil status -sha1sum
And then commit again worked. I'm not sure if these are related in any
way or if it's just a fluke.
I definitely realize that storing files of these sizes is very unusual.
Fossil seems to handle thousands of smaller files easily, it's only when
a single file starts to get into the hundreds of megabytes range that it
bombs. But I wanted to report our experience in case it is of use to the
developers, and in case doing so could give us some assistance with the
immediate issue.
Kind regards,

The following command solved the issue at least for the moment:
fossil rebuild --vacuum --analyze --compress
I'm not yet sure which of the options made the difference, but I
wanted to report back nevertheless.

OK. I'll investigate. Thanks for the quick response.

Do you have any recommendations for something we could try in order to
get more information, or would you suggest that we switch to another
DVCS if we need to store files of these sizes?
Regardless of the problem, I don't think *any* DVCS is appropriate for
storing gigabyte sized binary files. You should look into a
centralized VCS such as subversion, methinks.
