    There was an incorrect check that limited the size to INT_MAX/4
    (i.e. 512MB for systems where ints are 32bit).  I've removed this check
    in the CVS code (see patch below).  I am now able to open an 800MB file
    with this check removed.

After you visit such a file, what does (point-max) return?

Perhaps you're talking only about 64-bit systems?
