Anyone know if there is a pgn filesize limitation in pgn-extract? Tried to open a 90gig pgn database I have and it keeps crashing

It is compiled 64 bit and I have opened files that have tens of GB.

Re: pgn-extract filesize limitations
Thanks, unfortunately I'm not on a 64bit machine nor windows.
However I did find a workaround for the file size limitation. It can accept data via stdin so for a 90 gig file I just had to
cat huge.pgn | pgn-extract (whatever options)
Worked like a charm.
