We cannot necessarily just bestow an answer upon you.
How about this. What does the "file" command say about this file? I.e., say your file is named "reallyReallyBigFile," run this command:
% file reallyReallyBigFile
And tell us what it says.
The "reallyReallyBigFile:" is actually Inbox file from Thunderbird. When I was leaving the old company 2 years ago I just copied whole T-bird to backup HD. Now, I'm looking for one very important email and the only place left is this huge Inbox file. $> file Inbox Inbox: data thanks.
The only reason I can think that grep could not handle a very large file is that it does not have proper line breaks.
