Peter,

It does seem likely that the 32bit (<2GB) file API is being used and
is responsible for this problem.  However, the GML reader uses Xerces
so the issue (I think) would be what API Xerces uses since we just pass
it the filename from OGR.

I haven't tried such a large file, and I don't know what would be involved
in getting it working.
