Gentlemen,  I have placed a large file in the /tmp directory on zeus for 
your integer collapse problem.  It is a binary file with one enormous 
integer (roughly 5 GB of storage). To make things easier for you, it 
will be possible to read the file with a series of commands like

c = getc(fp)

where c is an integer and fp is a pointer to the binary file. Just make 
sure you keep reading to the end of the file!

I would REALLY appreciate it if you would write your code so it reads 
bigfile.dat  from /tmp on zeus.  If we all start making local copies of 
this then it is possible we may start hitting some file limits on zeus.
