Are you sure you're not just running a 64-bit process?

64-bit processes don't need O_LARGEFILE to process files larger than 2GB, 
since for them, off_t is already 64-bit.

Grepping for O_LARGEFILE shows nothing.

Oh, except we have that 

	#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64

which is just a horrible hack. That's nasty. We should just use 
O_LARGEFILE rather than depend on some internal glibc thing that works 
nowhere else.
