CDC Cyber 180's in native mode have up to 2**12 segments of 2**32 bytes,
giving them an addressing space of 2**44.  Disk files are actually memory
segments, reads and writes are handled as page faults.  I'm not sure if
they support files larger than 2**32 bytes, yet, because that would require
the files to span segments.
