Antoine Pitrou <pit...@free.fr> added the comment:

Looking at the patch, the recorded seek points will probably be wrong if
some newlines were translated (e.g. '\r\n' -> '\n') when reading the file.

I'm also not sure not what the use case for very big files is. linecache
is primarily used for printing tracebacks, the API isn't really
general-purpose.
