Summary: glob returns empty list for 2G+ files

Initial Comment:
When trying to use the glob.glob() function on a SINGLE file larger than  2GB in size , it returns an empty 
list.
If the file is 2^31-1 then the glob() function works correctly.  If wildcard are added to the string it will also 
work.

Example:
  The directory has 2 files.
   big.txt        :   greather then 2GB
   small.txt    :   less than 2G

1) 
     list = glob.glob('./big.txt')
     print list
     []

2)   
     list = glob.glob('./small.txt')
     print list
     ['./small.txt']

3)
     list = glob.glob('./*.txt')
     print list
     ['./small.txt','./big.txt']

Problem has been observed on python 2.1 on both Solaris 5.7 & Hpux 11.00
