Yeah, this is basically what I was thinking:  the c-library routine for
dir choked on the big file size.  Which is why I asked about that file.
You could build a debug version of euphoria, and use the watcom debugger to
step through.  This won't go into the internals of the c-library, though.

I was talking about the munging going on to prepare the data returned by dir.
Since Greg's library uses Win32 calls, I thought it might avoid a potential
problem with the watcom runtime library.

I promise not to try to be helpful on this thread anymore.
