I have a MyISAM table, into which I am trying to bulk-load several
gigabytes of data.

The first attempt got stuck after the table.MYD file had reached
precisely 4 GB. There wasn't any error message, but I observed that
neither the data nor the index file was increasing in size, even though
the CPU load was at 100%. Anyways, this was solved by setting the
following table properties (and killing the database server + deleting
the table):

  MAX_ROWS = 100000000
  AVG_ROW_LENGTH = 300

Now I have again run into the same issue, but at 5.78/1.21 GB
(table/index size). For a while the table size remained constant while
the index size still increased, but now nothing seems to be happing any
more, while the CPU is 100% busy. I would have expected the index to
reach a final size of something around 4 GB.

Any idea what has gone wrong here? Yet another limitation I have run
into?
