/usr/bin/look is from the bsdmainutils package, not from coreutils. Re-
assigning.

** Package changed: coreutils (Ubuntu) => bsdmainutils (Ubuntu)

Title:
  GNU look: "File too large"

Status in bsdmainutils package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I try to use `look` to binary search through a large file (43G),
  I get the error message: `look: sorted.csv: File too large`. On OSX, I
  am able to execute the same command on the same file with no problems.
