There is a related item in the todo.txt: | Win64: Seek error in swap file for a very big file (3 Gbyte). Check storing | pointer in long and seek offset in 64 bit var. I wrote some patches to fix this, but they seem to be still unstable. https://bitbucket.org/k_takata/vim-ktakata-mq/src/192069dac4356c186b89e0451a254599713d2309/support-largefiles-on-windows.patch?at=default https://bitbucket.org/k_takata/vim-ktakata-mq/src/192069dac4356c186b89e0451a254599713d2309/use-stat_T.patch?at=default Regards, Ken Takata -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
