This is because cursor position are stored in a lisp pointer, which is
coded on a bit less than 32 bits.
Anyway, a 208 MB file in Emacs would require a *really* big amount of
RAM.
So, you have two options in addition to what has already been
suggested: Use a 64bits machine with a lot of RAM, or use another
editor for this specific task.
