This is almost certainly the 32-bit signed integer problem. Unless ADSM is
specifically written for the new 64-bit file system at AIX 4.2.1 or later
(which I doubt), then 2GB is the largest database size possible. The fault
is that when doing an lseek (this is a AIX/Unix low level function to
position the current pointer in a file), the offset is a 32 bit signed
integer, whose limits are -2GB through +2GB-1.
