FS#251 - Scene / include files of >2GB size may cause problems
Code inspection shows that we’re still using fseek() and ftell() in various places (including text file input), which can’t handle file positions of 2GB and beyond (except on 64-bit linux machines); those calls need to be examined and (where appropriate) replaced with the fseek64() macro we’re already defining (but currently not using), and a to-be-defined ftell64() macro.
One potential (untested) error scenario would be a scene file calling a macro that is defined at the end of a > 2GB long include file.
Now tracked on github as issue #163.
