[Sbcl-help] Problems with large files on sbcl/linux-x86

[<Gis...@bc...>]

I tried the 32-bit version of sbcl on an opteron-based linux machine,
but got a problem with big files. On the x86_64 version I can open
big files, but on the x86-version, I get an exception telling me that
the file don't exists. Is this just a bug, or is there a real problem
dealing with such files? (Well at least the error message could
be better, since that is plain wrong. The file does exist).
The problem is with all files >2GB. On the x86_64 version
there is no problems.

For example, trying to open a file of 11GB size:

(open "/work2/speil/flatdb/uniprot/uniprot/uniprot_trembl.xml")

debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR in thread
#<THREAD "initial thread" {A672449}>:
   error opening #P"/work2/speil/flatdb/uniprot/uniprot/uniprot_trembl.xml":
     No such file or directory

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
   0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

(SB-IMPL::SIMPLE-FILE-PERROR
  "error opening ~S"
  #P"/work2/speil/flatdb/uniprot/uniprot/uniprot_trembl.xml"
