Many thanks for the quick response!

I did a quick check with a 1.9 GB .inc file and indeed - that works. With files
bigger than 2 GB, the error occurs.

I can understand that for 32 bit OS this enforced limitation in data size
would be necessary to prevent out-of-memory issues, but on a 64 bit OS, memory
allocation should not be a limiting factor, right?

So now this 'data size limitation' has been identified as the problem, is there
a solution for it? Or is there going to be a fix/update in the near future to
tackle this issue? Any other insights are welcome.

Kind regards,
Alexander
