We cannot necessarily just bestow an answer upon you.

How about this. What does the "file" command say about this file? I.e., 
say your file is named "reallyReallyBigFile," run this command:

% file reallyReallyBigFile

And tell us what it says.


The only reason I can think that grep could not handle a very large file 
is that it does not have proper line breaks.
