I am trying to record a file > 2gb in size.  I'm using the system call 
open() with the mode switch O_LARGEFILE.  
I get  a compiler warning that the macro doesn't exist.  I am including 
sys/fcntl.h.  I'm running redhat 7.1 with kernel
2.4.2-2.  Does anyone know of a way around this 2gb limit?  Thanks.
