Large file support is missing in the client utility. I took this as an
opportunity to vet the code for places where this might be an issue, so
the next trial-version (or tomorrows snapshot) should work better.

Please try again with the current snapshot. I don't see why it should
not work, except if the client-side tool (logfetch) failed to process
the logfile due to it being larger than 2 GB.
