Large files are supported yes. It's up to the applications to
accomodate them though (by using fseeko() instead of fseek(), and off_t
instead of int for file positions).

The tail bug has been reported as PR bin/14786, and it looks like
there's a patch in there. See if it fixes your problem. As for less,
you can contact the author and see if he can fix it; it's not a stock
