GNU look: "File too large"

[Yongqian Li]

When I try to use `look` to binary search through a large file (43G), I get the error message: `look: sorted.csv: File too large`. On OSX, I am able to execute the same command on the same file with no problems.

/usr/bin/look is from the bsdmainutils package, not from coreutils. Re-assigning.
