Sorry, problems with my webmailer, sending this with mail command from my hosted server.

Your "history" trick did make the 308 million Carmichael numbers fit into my fast AMD 7950X CPU PC.    
And that has fast DDR5 RAM and SSDs as storage, and not raid HDDs as my 2-socket server.

I started gp, did the read() and looked for gp pid in top.    
Then I queried resident RAM after read() on command line:

hermann@7950x:~$ ps -o pid,user,vsz,rss,comm,args 4856
    PID USER        VSZ   RSS COMMAND         COMMAND
   4856 hermann  42311356 24028804 gp         gp -q
hermann@7950x:~$

Not 38/2 GB resident RAM but 23GB.    
Now fits easily into 32GB RAM of my PC, and read time now is only 18 seconds!

hermann@7950x:~$ gp -q
? #
   timer = 1 (on)
? b=read("carm10e24.bin");0
cpu time = 3,751 ms, real time = 17,627 ms.
0
? #b
308279939
? b[#b]
999999999855878641139521
? d=10^3;C=0;foreach(b,c,if(c>=d,print1(C",");d=d*10);C+=1);print(C)
1,7,16,43,105,255,646,1547,3605,8241,19279,44706,105212,246683,585355,1401644,3381806,8220777,20138200,49679870,123381982,308279939
cpu time = 56,718 ms, real time = 56,722 ms.
? 

The last loop verifies the 10^n Carmichael number counts of https://oeis.org/A055553 .


The server I did download the 184GB file from was slow, so it took 4:58h(!) to download.

For people interested in Carmichael numbers    
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmichael_number    
up to 10^24 I did upload the binary file to my personal website.   
 
Depending on your download speed (I have 1Gbps cable internet) you can get it in 2min!
