I just looked in my python config.h on my FreeBSD system, and I see:

#define HAVE_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT 1

So it looks like it is on, and it seems to me the problem could be
in either Python or FileStorage.py in Zope.

This is a Zope 2.1.2 system (but I diffed filestorage.py against
the 2.1.6 version and didn't see any relevant changes) running
on a FreeBSD 3.1 system.  A make test in Python passed all tests,
but I don't know if large file support is tested by the tests.
