Hum, actually the .shp limit is 2GB as far as I know. The offsets in
the .shx file are, to memory, 32bit signed integers, so the limit
should be 2GB.
At the WMS Shootout 2010 we actually had to split a detailed isoline
layer, spain wide, in 8 parts to overcome this problem and make sure
all of the .shp files were smaller than 2GB.
And then we had some fun with another that had a larger than 2GB dbf
file, but in that case it was legit (though basically everyone had
to update their software to cope with it).
