Hi, Data.ByteString.Char8.getContents fails for files >2GB on OS X. Is there a fix for this? $ cat getContents.hs main = getContents $ ./getContents <smallFile $ ./getContents <bigFile getContents: <stdin>: hGetBuf: invalid argument (Invalid argument) $ ghc --version The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.4.1 Mac OS X 10.7.4 64-bit As a workaround, I used ByteString.Lazy instead of the strict ByteString, which worked, but found it was ~4 times slower for my program, so I'd like to get the strict ByteString working with large files. Cheers, Shaun
