I have read that STLPort has support for large files but I haven't 
tested it.
I've tested the following program (VC8.0):

#include <streambuf>
#include <limits>
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
	using namespace std;

	cout << numeric_limits<streamsize>::max() << endl;
}

compiled with STLPort as:

	D:\projects\STLport-5.1.7
	$ cl test.cpp /I stlport /link /libpath:lib

resulted in:

	$ test
	9223372036854775807

While just a normal compilation:

	$ cl /EHsc test.cpp

resulted in:

	$ test
	2147483647

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Cristian.
