Thanks Dave.  Actually, the files are not large, these are output text files from another program, and I can't imagine a situation where the byte size can exceed a 32 bit integer.

You may wish to consider "Unix.LargeFile.stat" if there is the
possibility that some of these files may be large, since st_size
contains the file size in bytes. Unix.st_size is an int, whereas
Unix.LargeFile.st_size is an int64.
