Hi,

Using GROMACS 4.5.3 I tried to continue an mdrun from a checkpoint, and got an 
error that I have never seen before, to whit:

Program mdrun_mpi, VERSION 4.5.3
Source code file: 
/global/software/build/gromacs-4.5.3/gromacs/src/gmxlib/checkpoint.c, line: 1727

Fatal error:
The original run wrote a file called 'traj.xtc' which is larger than 2 GB, but 
mdrun did not support large file offsets. Can not append. Run mdrun with 
-noappend
For more information and tips for troubleshooting, please check the GROMACS
website at http://www.gromacs.org/Documentation/Errors



I've never had a problem with extending runs like this before.

As suggested, I then ran with -noappend set, and it ran fine, creating a new 
set of numbered files for the ouput.  I am assuming that I'll be able to 
combine the trajectory files at the end of the process.


Correct.

Have I missed some fine point in compiling that has left mdrun a little broken?


Possibly, but it probably depends more on your system's architecture than anything you did. There is a configure option --disable-largefile (which should be the default), so you'd have to check config.log to see if this was changed to --enable-largefile based on what the configuration script found. Or you can re-compile and see if configuration fails with --enable-largefile and understand the reason.
