[Nauty-list] Shortging large files

[Brendan McKay]

Looks like you are running into the 2^31 = 2147483648 byte limit
that 32-bit filesystems impose.  To implement -v the records are
expanded a little so it can make 2.0G increase to more than the
limit.

However, this is not a complete explanation and I'm not confident
that it explains the error messages.

1.  Are you sure you used "<" ?
2.  Does the error occur soon or after a lot of sorting has been done?

Thanks, Brendan.
