It could be that your large file simply has no newline characters and there are no lines for wc to count. If your file is a collection of lines, then the last character must be a newline. So "tail bigfile | od -c" will display \n as the last character. Is this the case? What os are you using? And does "wc bigfile", (with no options at all) work?

xkbfreegeomoverlaykeys
XkbFreeGeomOverlayKeys(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbFreeGeomOverlayKeys(3)
NAME
XkbFreeGeomOverlayKeys - Free keys in an overlay row
SYNOPSIS
void XkbFreeGeomOverlayKeys (XkbRowPtr row, int first, int count, Bool free_all);
ARGUMENTS
- row row in which keys should be freed
- first
first key to be freed
- count
number of keys to be freed
- free_all
True => all keys are freed
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides a number of functions to allocate and free subcomponents of a keyboard geometry. Use these functions to create or modify key-
board geometries. Note that these functions merely allocate space for the new element(s), and it is up to you to fill in the values
explicitly in your code. These allocation functions increase sz_* but never touch num_* (unless there is an allocation failure, in which
case they reset both sz_* and num_* to zero). These functions return Success if they succeed, BadAlloc if they are not able to allocate
space, or BadValue if a parameter is not as expected.
If free_all is True, all keys are freed regardless of the value of first and count. Otherwise, the number of keys specified by count are
freed, beginning with the key specified by first in the specified row.
RETURN VALUES
Success The XkbFreeGeomOverlayKeys function returns Success if there are no allocation or argument errors.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc Unable to allocate storage
BadValue An argument is out of range
