Howdy Kevin!

I agree, but getting that information into a fortran 77 program is not easy!

We are going to be refactoring the fortran APIs Real Soon Now. When we do, we 
will be able to fix this problem, because we will be using only Fortran 90 
compilers, which have a well-defined way of getting environment vars into 
programs.

The workaround is not to perform the large file tests on systems without enough 
room for the F77 large file test to run.

Thanks!
