[AMBER] ptraj trajectory file size limits?

Hi all, is there an upper limit to size that ptraj can handle on reading in a formatted trajectory? I found the following trouble with AmberTools 1.4 or 1.5 (patched).

Large files eg 3-5 GB give an error message in ptraj:

checkCoordinates(): Could not predict number of frames for AMBER trajectory file: S36CYZMDproduction2.mdcrd
        If this is not a compressed file then there is a problem
Rank: 0 Atoms: 125003 FrameSize: 3037598 TitleSize: 81 NumBox: 3 Seekable 0


These large files were not in compressed format. When smaller (from prior runs in the series) files were tried, ptraj works fine. When I restarted the trajectory and output in NETCDF format, I was able to read in to ptraj (though thus far, the file is quite small). Any sense of what is up- I do not know how to interpret this result with large files.
Thank you-
Nicole
