For the 32Bit unix VM, primitiveDirectoryLookup and primitiveFileSize doesn't work with files larger than 2^32 bits. Possible workaround/fix. Build with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and replace ftell,fseek in sqFilePluginBasicPrims with ftello,fseeko. Now reading filesize for files larger than 2^32 bits works, but I don't know if there are any side effects.
