JJ,

Definitily for loadFromFile.

But I assumed (based on nothing more than my gut feeling I'm afraid) that 
"open"ing a file doesn't load (into memory), but just creates access to it. 
IOW, at the time of opening the file the size should not matter.

Though I see I forgot to mention that I tried to open a near-to 4GB file, 
but also a less-than 1KB file, and got the same error.

:-) I noticed that.  Its possible that I can open a 4GB file and get its 
correct size, but can't access the upper 2GB as the file pointer (position 
property) specifically mentions that it doesn't accept negative values.
