The problem is not with I/O, but rather with the fact that you hit the
memory limits creating a file with about 200Mb of non-eq strings. The
memory eaten by a 64-bits system in that case is much larger than the
one required for a 32-bits system. I just increased the limits to 1Gb
for 32 bits and 4 Gb for 64 bits.
