IIRC, on a 64bit system, you can open files upto 2GB.
On 32bit systems, you're currently limited to 256MB only (it could be
pushed to 512MB with some changes to the C code), and going
significantly further is pretty difficult.

It's not terribly hard to do, but it's not trivial either.
I.e. I have it done here locally, but extracting the corresponding patch
from my heap of local changes would take a little while.

Since Emacs 23.2, buffers on 32-bit systems can typically be up to 512MB.
