From what I can tell from the last couple of days, the answer is
"it depends". I'm able to manipulate and work with files larger than 2 Gb
in MOST cases. One really BAD exception is perl. Perl appears to be
unhappy with opening a large file. I needed to examine a 3 Gb disk
image using Lazarus from The Coroner's Toolkit and discovered that it
would not open the file unless I broke it into two chunks less than 2 Gb
in size.

Someone else will have to answer for those two utilities.
