On traditional Unices it was impossible to write a single file larger
than 2 GB.  It might be that on certain distributions the utility
program 'cat' is compiled without the so called "large file support"
necessary to write files larger than 2 GB without a overflowing file
pointer.  I must admit that I didn't have Slackware 9 on any of my
Linux boxes so I can't check this now.  This also depends on the
filesystem used:  AFAIR ext2 has also the 2GB limitation, where 
reiserfs, ext3 and so on allow large files.

Merging a recording with less than 2 GB should work though.

Regards, Peter
