Thanks Martin, that got it.
So yes, running 1.36.x on OS X 10.4.x shows that large file support

Thanks Erich (and all others) for beating me to the punch and solving this
question. Its a good one to solve with certainty and to know that the next
version of Bacula (its configure script) can look at the target platform its
being built on, detect that its Darwin (OS X) and then essentially assume
large file support from there on out.
Cheers!
