If I try to open a big file (2.6 Gbyte) as BufferedFile I get the message: Error: Cannot open or create file 'test.xml'

The C API used by phobos only supports (2GB - 1byte) files. While it is possible to circumvent the issue by using the LARGEFILE64 API that API isn't guaranteed to be present on all Linux systems.
