This sounds like maybe it is a "large file" problem.

UNIX has actual physical limits to file size determined by the number of bytes a 32 bit file pointer can index, about 2.4 GB. For older filesystems or runtimes.

Depending on your system, you may or may not have large file support. Try
Code:
 man fopen64

if you have an older unix.

If you can't find how or if large file support exists for your box, consider closing the first file just before it reaches 0x7fffffff bytes in length, and opening an additional new file.

The standard POSIX interfaces may be used by 32-bit applications to create and access large files if compiled with set to 64. The interfaces described here are alternatives to the standard ones, and are enabled by defining For 64-bit applications, access to large files is automatic, as long as the underlying file system is enabled for large files. The inter- faces on this man page are available to 64-bit applications, for convenience in porting, but provide no additional capabilities. The exception is which is not visible to 64-bit applications. SEE ALSO
