Sure sounds like it. But just in case, grab the latest Bash
sources and rebuild it with the 'large' options. If you're
running RH, as of 7.2 (maybe 7.3 or 8.0) they shipped
bash that was not compiled the 'large' options.

Also, be careful of the filesystem. If it is a reiser FS and
was built under a 2.2 kernel that you are stuck with the
2 Gig filesize limit (not that this your problem I think,
but something to check just in case).

Good Luck!
