This is a good question for the email archives. It's been
asked and answered more than once.
Cygwin curently supports only 32 bit word sizes. The tools
will have trouble with file sizes larger than 4GB.

Subject: noting problems with VERY large files w/ some utilities
I'm trying to work with a 22G (yes, gigabyte) and have
noticed problems with
ls (wrong file size, significant over report)
tail (doesn't catch end of file)
I don't know about other utilities, but I wanted to get
these reported ....
BTW, I greatly appreciate CYGWIN.
