>2GB files

[David Lawrence <davidl@jlab.org>]

Hi Folks,

    As discussed at the offline meeting this week, I've modified BMS to 
include the -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 argument as suggested by Richard in 
order to overcome the 2GB file size limit. This was added to 
src/BMS/Makefile.common and therefore propagates to all of our Hall-D 
software. I checked that this worked on Linux and verified that before 
the fix, the output hddm file from hdgeant truncated at 2^31-1 bytes and 
with the fixed went up to at least 3GB before I killed it. 
Interestingly, there seemed to be no 2GB limit on Mac OS X when I ran 
hdgeant without the fix. Adding it had no effect on OS X so the change 
is not done in a platform dependent way.

-David
